Why trust me with your wine journey?

Wine isn’t just my passion—it’s part of my story. I’ve poured my heart (and plenty of glasses) into exploring the world of wine, and here’s why I’m your go-to guide:

Certified expertise

I hold a WSET Level 2 with distinction (fancy, right?) and am currently deep into studying for WSET Level 3. This means I can nerd out on wine details, but I promise to keep it fun and approachable for you

A Well-Read Palate

My shelves are packed with books on Austria, Japan, and England’s wines. But beyond the pages, I’ve walked the vineyards, chatted with winemakers, and tasted wines right at the source.

A story behind every country

These regions aren’t just random dots on a map—they’re personal to me:

1) Austria: Picture this—I confidently order a beer, thinking I’m blending in. The bartender looks at me like I’ve just insulted his grandmother and says, “Here, we drink wine, madame.” Enter Blaufränkisch—intense, spicy, like a rebellious Cabernet Sauvignon. Lesson learned: when in Austria, order wine.

2) England: Fish and chips in hand, I’m told, “Try the English sparkling wine.” Sparkling wine? From England? I nearly choked on my fries. But one sip later, I was sold. Fresh, elegant, and as surprising as a sunny day in London.

3) Japan: Proud of my cultural ambitions, I sign up for a sake tasting. Twelve little glasses later, I’m a bit underwhelmed. Then my guide says, “You know, we also make wine.” Cue Koshu—light, delicate, with a touch of yuzu. As refreshing as your favorite sparkling water twist, but so much better.

First-hand experience

My family ties to these regions mean I’ve traveled extensively, tasted broadly, and absorbed every quirky, delicious detail along the way.

So, whether you’re diving into Austria’s bold reds, England’s sparkling fizz, or Japan’s elegant whites, I’ve got the knowledge, stories, and passion to make your wine journey unforgettable. Cheers to that! 🥂
