Miskew is a Writer, Wine Educator, Certified Sommelier and author of The
Glamorous Gourmet, a blog dedicated to her passions in life: food,
wine, fashion and travel.
The Glamorous Gourmet
debuted in February 2011 as the reincarnation of Stephanie Savors the
Moment, a blog which chronicled Stephanie's
year-long journey cooking her way, a la "Julie & Julia," through
the Junior League of Boca Raton’s James Beard award-winning Cookbook, Savor
the Moment. The project was to commemorate
the book’s 10th Anniversary and in the process, a new career was born! With its
broader focus, The Glamorous Gourmet
reflects Stephanie's take on food and wine with a sense of style, humor and
down to earth approach.
In
addition to her blog, Stephanie has written wine reviews, educational content
and wine event coverage for Cork’d, wine guru Gary Vaynerchuk’s website; the Broward-Palm Beach New
Times’ “Clean Plate Charlie” blog, and the Junior League of Boca Raton’s quarterly magazine, The Bridge. Stephanie is also currently a Contributing Editor
to The Preiser Key and her wine
picks, food and wine pairing recommendations and music playlists have been
featured in publications including the South Florida Sun Sentinel, the Palm Beach Post and Boca Raton Magazine.
In
addition to writing, Stephanie also conducts wine tastings and educational
seminars in both public and private venues. In 2010 she founded and continues
to host the popular series “The Art of Wine and Food” at The Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale. She also presents at prominent local charitable
events including The Boca Raton Historical Society’s “Boca Bacchanal” (she and her husband Steve were Chairs for the 2012
event which marked the fundraiser’s 10th Anniversary), The Spirit of Giving
Network’s “Women, Wine & Handbags”, and the Delray Beach Public Library’s “Wine & Literature.” Stephanie has also served as a Judge for the
prestigious American Fine Wine Competition, and recently joined esteemed Chef Norman Van Aken and Master Sommelier
Virginia Philip as a Judge for the Inaugural Country Club Chef Showdown, benefiting Hospice of Palm Beach County.
Stephanie
is a Certified Sommelier with The Court of Master Sommeliers, a Certified

Location Specialist for CIVC (Champagne) and IVDP (Port) with the Center for
Wine Origins. She has also achieved her Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Advanced Certificate and in her continuous quest for knowledge, she is presently pursuing
her WSET Diploma.
Stephanie
