Everyday, all over the world, real people enjoy wine for almost any reason. Wine is part of life, and it often reflects the area of the world from which it originates. I am first and foremost a wine enthusiast. I have achieved Sommelier certification through the Sommelier Society of America. I also hold the Advanced Certificate in Wines and Spirits, with distinction, from the Wine & Spirits Education Trust of England. In addition to these qualifications, I have completed intensive wine training at the French Culinary Institute in New York City. When it comes to wine, I constantly experiment - I enjoy discovering great wine and food pairings. I strive to take a fun, unique approach to wine and do away with wine snobbery. After all, wine is basically just fermented juice.
