Wine & Beverage Editor, Master of Ceremonies
Ryan Mitchell
Ryan Mitchell covers wine and beverage content for Master of Ceremonies, writing the tasting notes, food-pairing guidance, and product coverage across the MC wine range and the Pals RTD line.
Ryan holds a B.S. in Hospitality Management from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (2018), a background built around understanding how food, drink and service actually come together for the people on the receiving end — not just how a product is made, but how it's meant to be enjoyed. That hospitality lens shapes how he writes about MC's wine and RTDs: less about chasing tasting-note jargon, more about giving readers a clear, honest sense of what a bottle or can is actually like to drink, and when to reach for it.
Since joining MC, Ryan has focused on translating the brand's "drink it, don't overthink it" philosophy into content that's useful before a purchase — covering the rosé, pinot noir and sparkling ranges, the mechanics of the MC Wine Club, and the Pals canned-cocktail lineup.
Based in Las Vegas, Ryan works with MC remotely, researching New Zealand wine and beverage trends to keep coverage current and grounded in what NZ drinkers are actually looking for.
