I’ve been interested in wines for decades. In fact, I love wine so much that I’ve gotten several wine certifications, including Sommelier, WSET II (With Distinction), California Wine Appellation Specialist, and I am a candidate for a few more. I mean, why not? I have some free time, and I like to study! In addition to my love of wine, I also enjoy writing and teaching. I have combined the two into a pastime for instructing beginners about wine. While the awards I’ve earned are only part of my qualifications, my years at The Day Job™ as a trainer have developed and honed my instructional skills. My love of research – see the above comment about studying! – ensure that the information I provide is accurate. Besides, researching increases my own knowledge, which I happily share. I hope you find a lot of good information here because I share about wine and regular life in Las Vegas, friends and family, and life on the road. See you on the inside!
