Clarisse Fourmeaux Kostrzewski

“Clarisse makes learning about the wine as much fun as drinking it!”
—Lucien Chan, longtime client and friend

The Right Blend’s founder and CEO, Clarisse F. Kostrzewski, takes great satisfaction in seeing people experience that first spark, that instant when they discover a deeper connection with wine. “I love everything about what we do,” she says, “and my favorite part is seeing the moment when someone really ‘gets’ wine.”

Clarisse comes to her expertise naturally, having spent her whole life, as she says, “breathing wine.” Generations of Clarisse’s family have thrived in the industry as owners of wineries and vineyards in Bordeaux, France, and Napa Valley and Paso Robles, California. She learned the basics at a young age, and built a career encompassing advertising, sales and marketing, importing, general management, and the launching and re-branding of several wineries. Today she combines all of her knowledge and enthusiasm in The Right Blend, a customized, educational wine business that brings the enjoyment of wine to corporate and social gatherings of all sizes and personalities. Clients describe her as “unpretentious,” “friendly,” and “fun!”

The Right Blend shares their passion for wine through:

• wine consulting services for caterers and event planners
