Bio
I am a wine lover like you, but I have had many years of experience tasting wine and writing about wine through mywinepal.com. I started off my wine journey as a President of the South World Wine Society (SWWS) in Vancouver, BC in 2003 and then cellarmaster. The SWWS showcased the wines of Argentina, Australia, Chile, New Zealand and South Africa. By being part of this Society, I attended many Trade events, trying wines that are not yet available to the general public, as well as wines just coming to market, and gave me the experience of hosting wine tastings. From there, I expanded my horizons, as independent media covering wines from around the world. I have been writing as mywinepal since the mid 1990’s. You may see me at events such as the Vancouver International Wine Festival, Top Drop Canada, and Taste Washington.
I successfully completed the internationally recognized wine education courses offered by the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET). The UK-based WSET is recognized as the pre-eminent professional wine and spirit educational institute and is the gold standard in wine education. I completed the WSET Foundation, Intermediate, and Advanced certificate courses. With the Advanced course, I received a “Pass with Distinction“, which is the highest level for this particular certificate. I am serious about wine and love to share my experience with you.
I also have the “Rioja Wine Diploma“, certified by the Control Board of the DOCa Rioja, and the Wines of British Columbia Ambassador Level One certification.
I love well-made wines from around the world and want to share that experience with you.
