JOSHUA GOSLINE,
Account Coordinator
Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Joshua Gosline developed an early connection to wine that grew into a career across hospitality and beverage management. After relocating to Miami, he helped shape some of Miami's most respected wine programs, hosted wine tastings and events, and became an active voice in South Florida's wine community.
His Italian heritage sparked a deep and lasting interest in the wines of Italy while fostering a broader appreciation for the people, places, and traditions that shape wine across the globe. That path ultimately led him to a career in strategic communications. Through his work at NSM, Joshua is excited to collaborate with producers and wine regions from around the world, helping share the stories behind the wines that continue to inspire him.
