Christina graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in theater and spent two years studying the Meisner acting method at New York’s William Esper Studio. She’s appeared in several films and numerous commercials including, most recently, an ad for Crest Pro-Health.

Together, Otsuki and Scaglione bring experience in big-city brand promotion and fresh, seasonal food philosophy to The Perfect Purée of Napa Valley. They join a team of brand ambassadors that includes industry leaders from Hawaii, Los Angeles and Boston.

Prior to opening Mudhen, Otsuki worked as the sous chef at the popular Dallas restaurant LARK on the Park alongside executive chefs Melody Bishop and Dennis Kelley. She also worked at the Dallas Design District gastropub Meddlesome Moth and Live Nation at the Dallas House of Blues.

Otsuki’s philosophy centers on clean eating and simply-prepared, veggie-focused food with clear origins.

“I really worked a lot in developing Mudhen and I believe in honoring ingredients which is why I love The Perfect Purée. It is what it says it is.”
– Suki Otsuki

Scaglione started mixing with The Perfect Purée of Napa Valley at Bookmarks Lounge, where she used it in place of muddling fresh fruit. Her role as a Brand Ambassador for The Perfect Purée allows her to expand her range from spirits to cocktails and culinary applications.

“I felt super confident selling drinks to customers because I knew they were always consistent and probably a flavor most people haven’t yet tasted in a cocktail.”
– Christina Scaglione
