About me

I live in Ontario, Canada and have been in the wine business for 17 years now! I’ve always been passionate about wine and have been a leading advocate for the Canadian wine revolution!

I have a diploma in Tourism Management, that included Wine Appreciation. I obtained certification from the Wine Council of Ontario (now Ontario Craft Wineries), and after achieving my Sommelier L1, made my way to WSET3. Along the way, I have added a South African Wine certification, Canadian Wine Scholar, Wines of Portugal certification, and am currently working on my French Wine Scholar certification!

I worked for the LCBO, the world’s largest alcohol purchaser, for 13 years, with the last 5 as a Product Consultant managing the Vintages wine section.

I now work for and partner with some of the world’s best wineries and wine companies around the globe by tasting, reviewing, and writing about wine.
