Writer, Wine professional, and Illustrator
Maryse Chevriere is a writer, wine professional, and illustrator living in Boston, Massachusetts. A certified sommelier, her career in wine has spanned across New York City, San Francisco, and Boston, where she has enjoyed roles as a retail consultant, restaurant wine director, and distribution sales representative.
In 2015, she launched her popular Instagram account, @Freshcutgardenhose, which brings the comical absurdity of wine tasting notes to life through illustration. Her witty, whimsical “drunk doodles” have been published in print and online in Wine Enthusiast, Bon Apétit, Food & Wine, Starchefs, and Vice: Munchies, and prints of her work have appeared in restaurants and wine bars in New York City, Washington, D.C., Boston, and London. In 2016, the account was honored with a prestigious James Beard Award in the category of Humor, and in 2020, it was nominated as a finalist for a IACP Digital Media Award.
Maryse is a fervent proponent of in living life glass (at least) half full, and believes that learning and talking about wine should be as accessible and fun as drinking it is.
