Aniece Meinhold


Born to a fashionista mother and a hotelier father, it was clear the worlds of food, wine and fashion would forever play a critical role in Anièce Meinhold’s life as she grew up running through hotel corridors like “Little Eloise” and breathing La Perla at her mum’s boutiques. Alas, it must have been destined... Always at the helm of Miami’s finest dining establishments, Anièce has been able to transform her passion for the bacchanalian juice into a successful career honing her skills as a vibrant sommelier and dynamic educator. Driven to sniff, swirl and sip on a whim, Anièce launched EpicuriousChic, a consulting company that allows her to consult, educate and write about precisely the things that make her tick – fabulous wine, haute cuisine, essentially all things gourmet. Anièce explores life one grape at time, dreams about owning a vineyard in rolling Piedmontese hills and loves to host extravagant dinner affairs. She also suffers from a slight obsession for red pumps and struggles with closet space; what gets more room — her shoes or her wine?
