For the past 20 years, Bianca Miraglia has grown through every side of the Food and Beverage Industry, starting as a very young bartender. She has held positions in breweries, distilleries, wineries, bars, restaurants, and wine shops, doing everything from grunt work to GM to CFO/CEO. She has managed wine and spirits importers and distributors. She is a go-to industry-wide advisor and connector, globally.

Bianca has an extensive background in winemaking, distilling, farming, and business management. She is a very organized creative and lives to figure out how to turn ideas into reality. Bianca recently invented the only pH-stable naturally-colored blue alcohol and is a one-woman vermouth producer, farming and foraging all botanical ingredients. She consults for other alcohol manufacturers and restaurants and helps wherever needed- whether it is staffing, licensing and formula compliance, bureaucratic hoops, negotiating insurance policies, business, and ramp-up plans, new product development, equipment sourcing, you name it.

She is a very active participant in the local food and alcohol movement and dreams of helping to develop the parts the Hudson Valley is missing and can greatly benefit from. You will be hard pressed to find a more well-rounded industry member.
