About Monyka Berrocosa

Monyka Berrocosa, known as “M” to her friends, has been a professional food and wine educator, consultant and journalist living in Baltimore, MD since 1998. Down to earth and no nonsense, Monyka prefers to be called a wine “enthusiast” rather than “expert” despite ten years experience in the food and wine industry traveling the world by the glass. She is a regular contributor to Baltimore Smart Woman magazine, Taste of the Bay and often seen on WBALTV Channel 11  sharing the “pleasures of the table”.

Her humor, enthusiasm and lack of pretension has captured the attention of thousands of readers, viewers and students alike. In 2004 she founded The Women’s Wine & Dine®, a women-only wine centric event series that raises money for a variety of charitable organizations and counts over 10,000 subscribers to its monthly newsletter “Women’s Wine & Dine Wisdom”. The WW&D provides a forum to inspire, educate and celebrate women from all walks of life through various events held throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. In 2006 she released her first book “One Sip at a Time”.
