Behind Wine Travelista
How It All Began
It all started with a semester abroad and a life-changing bottle of Brunello. That taste sparked something big, and I haven’t stopped exploring the world of wine since!
Over the years, I’ve visited 30 countries and countless wine regions, from local vineyards to cellars halfway around the world. Along the way, I earned a Wine & Spirit Education Trust Level 3 certification and became an American Wine Expert.
After leaving a corporate marketing career, I finally turned this passion into my day job. And now I get to share my love of wine and wanderlust with you.
