Wine is something that many people enjoy and I find that there are a lot of people who would love to learn more about it. Whether it's something simple like finding that perfect pairing for dinner or challenging yourself to find new obscure grape varieties there is a ton of stuff to learn about wine. What is it? How is it produced? How do you taste it? What makes all those grapes or regions or vintages so different?

Learning about wine is one of my passions—primarily because it is such a huge topic, and there is always something new to learn. I hold the Intermediate and Advanced certifications from the WSET, have extensive experience organizing and leading group tastings, and have taught wine-focused classes. I love sharing my experience with others while helping them to explore wine and learn more about it themselves. Those moments in the tasting room or having a conversation in a store where someone makes a connection or learns something unique about their palate are wholly gratifying.

In an effort to expand my efforts to make wine more approachable for people I am now offering my services to anyone who is ready to get answers to any of their wine questions. From wine essentials (Wine Tasting 101) to in depth topics (Exploring Biodynamic wines) services include, but are not limited to:

• Topical presentations - wine basics, global regions, grape varieties, tasting, food & wine
• Industry/Business services - wine list creation/update assistance, staff training & education
