Welcome, I’m Samantha!

Charcootz is a passion project—something I created because I love bringing people together over beautiful, thoughtfully curated food.

By day, I work full-time in venture capital, but outside of that world, you’ll usually find me building charcuterie boards for friends, hosting, or showing up to gatherings with something a little extra. I’ve also earned my WSET Diploma and work as a sommelier on the side, which deeply influences how I think about flavor, pairing, and presentation. What began as a creative outlet quickly turned into something more: a way to bring joy to my neighborhood and help others elevate the way they host.

My philosophy is simple: abundance, quality, and intention. Crackers belong on the side so the board can truly shine. Every inch should be thoughtfully filled: no empty space, no filler, no shortcuts.

Charcootz is designed to make entertaining feel special but effortless. Each board is designed to impress, featuring high-quality ingredients, unique pairings, and a presentation that feels as good as it tastes.
