About me

“If you had a brain, you’d be dangerous,” she would say, so as a result I went to Art College for a year to then discover, that neither Van Gogh nor Picasso had earned much of a living. Born for hospitality, I completed my training in the hotel and restaurant trade before moving into wine sales – albeit with an extraordinarily fluctuating rate of success!

 

Germany then became my second home and the roots of my own family and having mastered the lingo, 35 years on I remain passionate and intrigued by everything to do with wine, wine-production and in particular, the passionate individuals behind a label.

​

In 2011, I qualified as a Culture and Wine Ambassador and haven`t looked back. Further accomplishments include the internationally recognised Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) levels 1, 2 and 3 - which I sat in Portugal and in Germany. I participate regularly in wine-tastings, on judging panels, travelling too, to broaden both my horizon and my palate.

​

In 2023, I took the plunge and became self-employed. What began as a passion for wine has evolved into a broader commitment. Today, I combine wine and travel communication, editorial storytelling and professional support services to highlight the individuals, places and experiences behind a destination, a bottle or memorable hospitality.                                                                                                                                            

In a world defined by constant stimulation, artificial intelligence and saturated markets, authentic storytelling remains one of the most powerful tools for clarity, connection and success.
