I love wine, and I’m passionate about sharing what I know, through writing, speaking, teaching, and consulting.

For many years, I’ve been studying wine intensely through bottles and books. I hold the Diploma in Wines & Spirits from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust. I also have passed the French Wine Scholar, Bordeaux Master-Level, and Rhône Master-Level examinations given by the Wine Scholar Guild, all with Highest Honors. Beyond that, I am an avid collector and reader of wine books, which take up way too much space in my home. Speaking of wine books . . .

In 2021, I wrote Press for Champagne: A Guide to Enjoying the World’s Greatest Sparkling Wine. Read more about the book and download the introduction for free, here. Since the book’s publication, I have been giving presentations about Champagne (which include guided tastings and book singings) for organizations, businesses, and private groups. Please contact me if you are interested.

In addition, I teach WSET courses and am available for a range of wine consulting services.
