Kaysie Rogers came into the wine world after a successful career as a pastry chef. While traveling around the world giving master classes and competing on Food Network shows she would make excursions to nearby wine regions and had her ‘aha’ moment in Hunter Valley tasting a vertical of Tyrell’s Vat 1 Semillon. Considering wine as another adventure and career, she returned to Seattle, first working as a sommelier at Wild Ginger and The Metropolitan Grill. She then joined the wine team at HMF – The Breakers in West Palm Beach working with their Grand Award-winning list before being promoted to lead sommelier/director for Flagler Steakhouse – The Breakers. Kaysie passed her Advanced Sommelier certification in 2020 and first attempted the Master Sommelier Exam in 2021. Originally from Brentwood, TN, she recently relocated to Santa Rosa, California, and joined SingleThread Farms.
