Learning about wines and spirits can take you on a journey of exploration and adventure. Every glass of wine, every dram, every carefully mixed cocktail or cold beer presents an opportunity for a new discovery, new tastes, textures, aromas, flavours, cultures, people and places. I'm committed to inspiring you to experience the world of wines and spirits in a whole new way.

2025 marks 20 years as a wine educator. In that time, I’ve visited almost every corner of France—except, Alsace. So when the Association of Wine Educators announced a trip there, I couldn’t resist.
Alsace is often described as one of France’s most striking wine regions: dramatic hillside vineyards stretching from north to south, and villages of cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, and traditional charm. In just three days, we explored the region’s patchwork of terroirs, its wide range of grape varieties, and met producers who balance tradition with innovation. And of course, we tasted an extraordinary range of wines—precise, expressive, and proof of Alsace’s remarkable diversity.
