I’m a wine professional with a WSET (Wine & Spirits Education Trust) Level 3 certification from Napa Valley Wine Academy & am a Certified Specialist of Wine by Society of Wine Educators.

Wine is my passion. If I’m not drinking it, I’m studying it. If I’m not studying it, I’m writing about it. I’ve worked as a harvest intern at City Winery in Montgomery, New York, served as a wine judge during live wine tasting competitions, and am currently studying for my Certified Specialist of Wine exam.

And more than studying and tasting wine, I love teaching others about wine. I believe that learning about wine doesn’t have to be scary - in fact, it can be a lot of fun! And gaining even a little bit of knowledge can expand your horizons exponentially.

I hope you enjoy my blog posts (you can also check me out @theworldin80bottles on Instagram). And if you’re tempted to sign up for a wine class, well - what’re you waiting for? Contact me via the Contact Me button above to inquire.

Cheers!
