Hannah Ermisch is the General Manager of Vino & Oddlots inc., owned by Grape Expectations, an East Bay wine retailer, and a Certified Sommelier with a Bachelor of Science in Enology and a Master of Science in Business Management. Originally from Bend, Oregon, she grew up in Mendoza, Argentina, surrounded by wine, developing an early connection to the industry that she later pursued through formal study and hands-on winemaking.

Her experience spans wine retail and production, including multiple harvests and collaborative winemaking with her father, Kirk Ermisch, at Ermisch Cellars in Oregon. This combination gives her a perspective on wine that connects the decisions made in the cellar with the needs of customers choosing a bottle.

As a USA Wine Ratings judge, Hannah brings independent retail experience supported by technical winemaking knowledge and sommelier training. Her background informs the evaluation of quality, value and packaging, with attention to wines that deliver character and appeal to U.S. consumers.
