Four women — wine director and educator Lee Campbell, Greenpoint Cidery founder Nika Carlson, Côte wine director Victoria James and Yola Mezcal co-founder Gina Correll Aglietti — each expert in their field, will join us for multi-day residencies, March, April, May and June, respectively. While on property, they’ll host an educational experience for our staff, hotel guests and members; create a list of “Selects” on our beverage lists and/or have specialty cocktails on our menus; and create a unique ticketed experience for our extended community of hotel guests, members and local farmers and friends.

The goal of the series is to bring varied voices to our programming and introduce their perspectives to our community, while simultaneously “turning the table” on what it means to be hospitable — by extending that credo of care to members of the hospitality industry.

An ardent supporter of sustainable vine-farming and traditional, low-intervention winemaking techniques, Lee Campbell is a wine professional for the modern age. After working in some of Washington, D.C.’s and Manhattan’s top culinary and vinous establishments, she hopped the East River to Brooklyn, and became the Wine Director for the Tarlow Restaurant Group. Additionally, as co-creator of The Big Glou (2016) and co-organizer of Wild World Austin (2019), Lee has been instrumental in the establishment of America’s natural wine fair circuit. A certified sommelier primarily working as a consultant, Lee also represents the burgeoning Virginia producer, Early Mountain Vineyards and advises on various hospitality projects. Above all, Lee advocates for the integration of wine and food into a balanced, healthy, and joyful life... a spirited lifestyle which all people, of every stripe, are welcome to savor! @bewitchinglee

Nika Carlson is the owner and cidermaker at Greenpoint Cidery, a micro-cidery in Hudson, NY. Inspired by farmhouse practices, natural wine, and the long history of apples in America, her ciders are made with traditional methods, local ingredients, and minimal intervention. Each cider is hand made in small batches, and limited release experimental ciders are made with fruits, herbs, and flowers foraged from the surrounding land. Because it's made by hand, each cider tells its own unique story. @greenpointcidery

A California native who grew up in the music industry, Gina Correll Aglietti has worked as a consultant on restaurants and as a stylist for the likes of Adele, Haim, The Rza, Taylor Swift, Grace Gummer, as well as fashion houses such as YSL, Levi’s, and Acne. In 2016, Gina launched YOLA Mezcal with Yola Jimenez and Lykke Li to much acclaim. Handcrafted and organic, YOLA Mezcal follows a recipe passed down by Yola's grandfather. It is distilled on our namesake farm in Oaxaca and bottled by women. In 2019, the brand introduced YOLA Dia, a music and arts festival highlighting female talent and voices. While YOLA Mezcal’s core values are to promote economic independence and autonomy for women in Oaxaca, Gina has taken the company one step even further by pursuing a female dominated cap table and staff on both sides of the border. Through this they have been aligned with a multitude of women’s and civil right organizations such as the ACLU and Planned Parenthood. @yolamezcal
