Meet Hannah Williams
Hannah leads East Coast Sales for Thatcher’s Imports & Thatcher’s Wine, blending her deep love of wine and hospitality with a talent for pairing exceptional bottles with equally exceptional places.
Her journey into wine began unexpectedly—on the University of Edinburgh’s competitive Blind Tasting Team—where a spark of curiosity turned into a full-blown passion. From Wine & Spirits Magazine to hospitality roles at La Sirena Ristorante and the acclaimed Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Hannah has spent her career curating thoughtful, award-winning wine programs. Her accolades include the International Sparkling Wine List of the Year from Star Wine Lists and Best New Sommelier from Wine & Spirits.
On September 7th, she’s bringing that same thoughtful approach to our tables for one night only.
