Dana Frank has been working in restaurants for over 16 years, with most of her attention paid to wine, even when she should have been focusing on other things. She has been the wine director at multi-award winning Ava Gene's, named one of Food & Wine's Sommeliers of the Year and Bon Appetit's Sommeliers to Watch. She opened her own spot, Bar Norman, her ode to good music, natural wine and the people who make it, in 2018, and her first book, Wine Food, written with co-author and friend Andrea Slonecker, was published last year. Dana and her husband have a winery (Bow & Arrow), an eight-year-old (Orly), and spend their free time trying to chill out (impossible).
