June Rodil, MS

Born in the Philippines and raised in Texas, June is one of 26 women in the Americas to earn a Master Sommelier credential. She joined Goodnight Hospitality as a partner in 2019 and opened two new concepts the same year: Montrose Cheese & Wine and Rosie Cannonball, a 2020 James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Wine Program. The Houston-based restaurant group will open fine dining restaurant March in 2020.

Most recently, June was VP of Operations for McGuire Moorman Hospitality, a hospitality group with 10 restaurants in Austin and one in Aspen. She remains a partner in June’s All Day, her namesake restaurant that was named one of Food & Wine magazine’s Restaurants of the Year in 2017.

She is known as a leader in the beverage community and her accolades include: Wine Enthusiast’s Sommelier of the Year 2018; Wine Enthusiast 40 Under 40 2016; Key Panelist at Women in Wine Leadership Symposium and numerous Food & Wine Festivals across the nation; Food & Wine magazine’s Sommelier of the Year 2014, Star Chef’s Rising Star Sommelier 2012, Wine & Spirits Best New Sommelier 2011 and TEXSOM Best Sommelier Winner 2009.

An avid sparkling wine drinker and determined to find cause for celebration in day to day life, in 2017 she launched her private label wine, June’s Brut Rosé, with Austrian winemaker Markus Huber.

Outside of restaurant operations, June loves doing crossword puzzles with her husband, obsessing over her dog, admiring art she can’t afford, going to the occasional power yoga class, and laughing really heartily with her friends.
