My passion for wine is like fine Bordeaux, it took a bit of time to grow, open up and burst onto the scene. I first got interested in wine through my work as a travel journalist.

 

Covering luxury travel for publications like the BBC, Forbes, Robb Report, American Way and more, I was often wined and dined. I visited and wrote about more than 40 wine regions in 11 countries on four continents. From exploring New Zealand’s racy Sauvignon Blancs via moped, to being shown South Africa’s Winelands by the country’s top young sommelier, my interest in wine grew. I was fascinated by the nuances in wine created by terroir. 

 

I earned my Sommelier certification, and today I focus on writing about wine and travel. I also share my passion for wine with others, serving as Vice President of Wine Experiences & Marketing with Phoenix Wine Parties.

 

I was a 2024 Wine Writers' Symposium Fellow, and I'm the only Arizona member of the prestigious international Circle of Wine Writers.
