Saunders' appreciation for wine began on her family's small farm, where she learned to make wine alongside her grandfather using muscadine grapes grown in their vineyard. That early experience inspired a lasting interest in wine and a journey that led her to become a Level One Sommelier.

"My love for wine has remained rooted in tradition, connection, and the stories shared over a wonderful meal," said Saunders.

At The Capital Grille Hawaiʻi, Saunders looks forward to getting to know guests' favorite varietals, introducing new discoveries and helping them find selections that complement both their meal and the occasion. Her approach reflects the restaurant's commitment to making each visit feel personal, whether guests are celebrating a milestone, gathering with colleagues or enjoying an evening out in Waikīkī.

"I'm grateful to be part of this 'ohana and look forward to connecting, and reconnecting, with each of you," Saunders said.
