Teaching and Learning

My Passion 

​

When I first moved to Seattle in 1990 there were 88 wineries and now there are over 1,000 wineries, and so many vineyards and varieties. It can get confusing. That's what I am here for... helping you make sense of it all.

I have lived and worked in the wine industry for nearly 40 years in sales, distribution, wine director positions and wine judging, writing, education and events.

​

I love teaching about wine and its history, pairing food and wine, and touring the world with others who enjoy wine, food, culture, history, and travel.

​

I'm certified in the Court of Sommeliers, Wine Scholar Guild, Diploma Wine & Spirit Education Trust, Sherry Specialist and as a Bordeaux Tutor.

Let's food and wine together!
