Winery, & a skilled International Wine Competition Judge at some of the world’s most renowned competitions, I have the qualifications you need for your wine needs!

My writing reflects my mastery of the wine industry in a charmingly, interactive style that has made my articles, blogs, website content, & 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 no matter what your level.
