Testimonials

"Maryam is the straw that stirs the drink."

-Chef Andrew Zimmern

"Maryam + Company is one of those rare and deeply needed agencies in wine that can take a 30,000-foot vision and break it into meaningful and manageable actions. To organizations like ours that work to further equity in the wine industry, Maryam + Company's skill for strategic planning and expert execution is what makes the difference between wishing for change and making change happen."

-Rachel Adams, Founder + Executive Director of Assemblage Symposium

“Maryam’s intelligence, perspective, ideas and enthusiasm have been such an asset. We have absolutely loved working with her on the Wine Writers’ Symposium and many other endeavors. We continue to seek opportunities for our team to work with Maryam + Company.”

-Linda Reiff, President and CEO, Napa Valley Vintners

“As contributing editor, Maryam played a clutch role in the creation of Wildsam Field Guides' book about Napa and Sonoma. With her immersion in the scene and unerring instinct for great people and places, she steered our coverage to lesser-known wineries, restaurants with fascinating stories behind them and a deeper understanding of the nuances of that magical (but complicated!) part of California. She'd be an amazing guide for any kind of culinary or cultural adventure.”

- Zach Dundas, Senior Editor, WildSam
