Arnold Serotsky, Vice President and Chair of the Tasting Advisory Committee

As a wine educator, Tracy Ellen Kamens brings together great characteristics and skills in her presentations:

  • – as a professional educator, she plans her presentations, speaks eloquently, makes good use of visuals, “reads” her audience, and works within given physical and time constraints.
  • – as a wine educator, she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, having studied and traveled the wine world extensively to develop a grasp of the essence of wine.
  • – as a passionate lover of wine and all the facets of its history, production, and consumption, she comes to every presentation motivated by much more than her fee, and shares that successfully with participants.

We are a large wine education club in the Mid Hudson Valley conducting monthly tastings for more than three decades.  Many of our members are wine professionals in retail and distribution, or are consultants and presenters like Tracy.  I “discovered” Tracy three years ago while in search of fresh presenters for our events.  By overwhelming consensus, we have had Tracy back every year since, and hope to continue that trend in the future.
