Her hard work helped garner regional and international media attention from the likes of Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Seattle Magazine, Sunset Magazine, The Seattle Times, Food & Wine, Decanter, along with many others. Doak began her wine career with the Washington Wine Commission, followed by various undertakings including restructuring the Seattle Chapter of Wine Brats and retail stints at Esquin and Pike & Western. Doak's expertise in event planning and customer relations earned her positions assisting local wineries such as Matthews Estate, DeLille Cellars and Hedges Cellars with weekend and special events. While studying at Seattle University, Doak's love for the food, wine, and hospitality deepened. At the verge of graduating, the suggestion of a school advisor led Doak to pursue a job in the wine industry; her fate was sealed. Born and raised in the Seattle area, her family helped foster an early interest in local flavors. Her mother, an avid cook and her father an avid diner worked together at cultivating Doak's interests. When she isn't working, you'll find her hiking with her Golden Retriever, traveling to far away places, strolling farmers markets, trying new wines, brews & libations at her favorite eatery or in a home kitchen with friends.
