How Can I Make Your Every Sip Count?

My curiosity led to 9 years of wine courses including a

Masters of Science in Bordeaux and an understanding of how our senses work as they relate to wine & food. 

​

Now, I enjoy sharing my knowledge in a fun and interactive way with people to enhance their experience & expand their wine world. 

​

I look forward to guiding you on your next wine adventure when you can find out how my impromptu stint as a Sommelier in a restaurant in Rome led to an unforgettable tasting!
