04 / THE STORY BEHIND THE TABLE

It began with wine.
It grew into connection.

Danielle’s love of wine has always included a love of wine education—sharing what she knows and helping people feel comfortable discovering what they enjoy. She’s been a sommelier for more than 13 years.

In 2017, she created her first grazing table for a private Mother’s Day celebration. That one table grew into a passion for all things grazing: large grazing tables, boards, platters, and individual options, each with its own way of making people feel welcome.

Over the years, Danielle has produced hundreds of wine events for corporate and private clients, including through her work as Director of Events with the Wine School of Philadelphia. She’s also styled and decorated numerous gatherings, bringing the food, the room, and the little details together.

At the end of those events, the same questions kept coming up. Those conversations became a reminder that the knowledge behind a lovely gathering is worth sharing—and that helping someone create their own experience can be just as meaningful.

Biagio and Danielle share a love of gathering family and friends for meals, cocktails, and conversation. They love the unhurried pace of a European meal: phones put away, conversation that lingers, frequent belly laughs, and an evening that leaves everyone feeling a little closer.

That shared love is the heart of Sip & Graze today. Our purpose is rooted in love and generosity: sharing what we have and what we know so you can create that same feeling with your own people. At home, at a restaurant, or somewhere along the way, we want to help you make room for the moments that bring everyone closer.

A little know-how. A lot of love.Danielle & Biagio
