International Wine Competition Judging
about

Michele A. Padberg

As a passionate, Certified Advanced Sommelier, a co-owner of the top ranking boutique Vivac
Winery, & a skilled International Wine Competition Judge at some of the world’s most renowned competitions, I have the qualifications you need. My writing reflects my mastery of the wine industry in a charmingly, interactive style that has made my blogs, website content, weekly newspaper columns & fun filled food & wine adventure pieces immensely successful. People seek out my twist on the norm of wine education because I make it fun while informative. My gifted super-taster palate makes me an asset as a Judge & has helped me pair wines with art, music & even historical icons.
