About Amusée

Leslee Miller, a recent transplant from the Pacific Northwest, reestablished herself in the Midwest after many years of living in and amongst the Oregon and California wine growing regions. Daughter of a Wisconsin restaurateur, with a background in hospitality, Leslee's passion for the industry is enthusiastic and contagious. As a certified sommelier, she shares her education and experience within a number of different settings across the Twin Cities area. From cooking and wine classes, private in-home events, corporate functions, fund-raising, auctions and restaurant consulting, her energizing personality brings life to each setting.

Former director of one of Oregon's most prestigious Pinot Noir houses, Archery Summit, and member to board of directors of Pine Ridge Winery of Napa, California, Leslee's recent move to the Midwest has inspired her to take on many facets in the industry. Amongst her recent writings with Midwest Wine Connection she shares her wide variety of wine expertise and love for not only the 'greats' in the wine world, but gives her subscribers fun insight to the everyday international value-driven wines market as well. Between the range of topics that are written or taught within Leslee's business, Amusée, you get a pretty good idea as to the variety of interests she carries within her field. From the roots of the wine world, her love for the traditionalists view, and fresh ingredient inspired wine dinners to chocolate and cheese pairing classes - the topics are wide and are always guaranteed to come packed with one thing, fun.

As for the future, there are a number of projects that continue to keep Leslee busy. Beyond her teaching, entertaining and writing, her only plan is to keep her avenues open and enjoy the wine world for what it is - fun!
