Hi! 👋 I’m Megumi.

Welcome to Merobebe, where wine tips meets real talk for ambitious women!

I’m a certified sommelier and writer, here to make wine more inclusive and less intimidating. (You may have seen me quoted in Wine Enthusiast or Forbes.)

Every Wednesday, I share wine tips (whether on aging wine, pricing, or the additives in your bottle) mixed with no-BS reflections on career, identity, and what it means to take up space in rooms we aren’t always invited into.

Originally from Tokyo, I’ve lived in NYC, San Francisco, and LA, and now call Kansas City home, where I’m building a platform that helps women feel more confident in their wine knowledge and in themselves. Because research shows that when women rise, we don’t just change our own lives. We uplift our communities.

Ready to drink better wine and live a bigger life?
Pour yourself a glass and join me!
