OUR PAST, OUR DAILY LIFE, AND THE DREAMS WE HAVE FOR THE FUTURE ALL LEAD TO DECISION MAKING.  THIS WEBSITE FOLLOWS MY JOURNEY OF WORKING IN THE WINE INDUSTRY, BUT IS A BETTER REFLECTION ON MY LIFE AS A SINGLE, 51 YEAR OLD WOMAN – FULL OF FLAWS, SPARKS, AND MIND BENDING EPISODES – AND HOW THESE INTERACTIONS WITH THE WORLD AROUND ME EFFECT MY OWN JUDGEMENTS ON WINE.

HOW DO THEY CAN EFFECT YOURS?

XOXO – Susan

Susan Pajak is the North Eastern Category Specialist for Kobrand Fine Wine and Spirits Portfolio focused on South America.  Susan’s career began accidentally, and with a little luck, in New York City as a sommelier for the Be Our Guest Restaurant Group.  This was an exciting time for NYC restaurants, filled with change, expansion and opportunities. This beginning planted the seed for growth and advancement for Susan, and the desire to learn more about the business of wine as a whole.  Following a position selling the Spanish wine portfolio created by Jorge Ordonez, as well as working with a New Jersey Distribution Company in such areas as wine manager/specialist and Director of Learning and Development, Susan took on the role of Luxury Manager at Treasury Wine Estates. Working for a large global portfolio shapes a mind and actions naturally, and allowed Susan to learn the importance of portfolio management, regional concentrations, and the implementations of sales strategies.  After six years with Treasury Wine Estates, Susan transitioned to a role as an East Coast Portfolio Specialist with the Imports Team at Winebow, where she found new inspiration focusing on an energetic and passionate new world wine portfolio.  Now with Kobrand, representing the wines of Montes, Bodega Norton and Alta Vista, Susan looks forward to accomplishing new behaviors and culture regarding the pioneering and historic wine families she represents.  She holds a BFA from Rutgers College, as well as a WSET Level 3 Certification in Wine and Spirits.
