Mary Ewing-Mulligan Biography

Mary Ewing-Mulligan, Master of Wine, is a leading wine educator, columnist, and author. She was the first woman in America to become a Master of Wine, a title that represents the highest level of knowledge and proficiency in the wine trade. She is currently one of only 51 Masters of Wine in the U.S., and 390 in the world.

Ewing-Mulligan is president of International Wine Center in New York, an independent wine school founded in 1982. At International Wine Center, Ewing-Mulligan runs the academically rigorous programs of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust® (WSET®), the world’s largest wine-education organization. These programs offer Americans the traditional pre-Master of Wine education. The ranks of U.S. MWs now include fourteen former students of International Wine Center.

Ewing-Mulligan is author of "Wine Style — Using Your Senses to Explore and Enjoy Wine" and co-authored (with her husband, Ed McCarthy) "Wine For Dummies" and ten other wine books in the …For Dummies series. With well over one million copies sold since it was published in late 1995, and translations into thirty-eight languages, Wine For Dummies ranks as America’s fastest-selling wine book ever and one of its most enduring.

Ewing-Mulligan is a popular columnist for Wine Review Online. She was a wine columnist for The Daily News and the Nation’s Restaurant News. She frequently judges at major national and international tasting competitions and is also a regular leader of seminars at major wine events across the U.S. Ewing-Mulligan has been the recipient of numerous awards, most recently she was recognized as a Wine Leader by the Italian Wine & Food Institute in 2016. Other awards include the Italian Trade Commission’s Distinguished Service award in 2009, the NYIT Gold Coast Classic Professional Excellence Award in 2009, the Champagne Pommery ‘Wine Muse’ Award in 2005, the 2003 European Wine Council Distinguished Achievement Award, and the Peter M.F. Sichel Award for Wine Education in 1994.

After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Ewing-Mulligan began her career at the Italian Trade Commission, where she was responsible for educating consumers across the United States about Italy’s wines. After eight years with the Italian government, she moved to the private sector, where she worked as a winery agent and held a senior position at PepsiCo Wines & Spirits before dedicating her career to wine education.

  • Interview Mary Ewing-Mulligan, MW

    Mary Ewing-Mulligan, Master of Wine, is a leading wine educator, columnist, and author.

  • A Conversation with Mary Ewing-Mulligan

    Like everyone these days, Mary Ewing-Mulligan – America’s first female Master of Wine and president of the International Wine Center (IWC) in New York City, where she has taught since 1984 – and I are meeting on Zoom. I’m reminded of that horrible metaphor from the Vietnam War era about “seeing the light at the end of the tunnel,” but that’s where we are right now, glimpsing hope that the Covid pandemic might be winding down, but not yet quite certain it is.

  • A Woman of Influence in the Wine World

    It’s almost impossible to buy a bottle of wine in New York today without encountering a WSET-credentialed retailer or sommelier. And more and more wine professionals have these four letters after their names thanks to the International Wine Center and Mary Ewing-Mulligan, its proprietor and president.

  • Mary Ewing-Mulligan MW honoured with WSET Lifetime Achievement Award

    Mary Ewing-Mulligan MW, leading US wine educator, owner/President of International Wine Center and the first woman in North America to become a Master of Wine, was presented with WSET’s Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2019 Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Awards and Graduation Ceremony last night.
