Suzana Gjurra
I'm a sommelier based in NYC and currently employed at Major Food Group - ZZ's Members Club
My Roots
Originally from Albania, I'm happy to call the United States my home for over 12 years! I earned my BA degree in Economics at the American University in Bulgaria in 2014. I completed the Boston University Wine Program and received my introductory certification with the Court of Master Sommeliers.
My Journey
My work began as a wine matchmaker in sales. I transitioned into hospitality as a sommelier at prestigious restaurants, notably Contessa in Boston and The Grill at Manhattan's Seagram Building. I've explored wine regions across the globe, from Napa to Burgundy to Piemonte, studying to cultivate my lifelong dream to become a winemaker one day!
