Hello & Welcome

I am a consultant and Master of Wine specialising in communication and improving the quality of wines through blending and range development.

Maximising Potential

I work with wineries to identify what they are already doing well and advise how to bring them up to the next level.

I do this through:

  • Blending to increase both quality and profitability

  • Benchmarking to identify market position

  • Uncover unique selling points and promote through engaging storytelling.

  • Winemaking trials to drive innovation.

  • Consultation on technical specifications to secure quality control.

I love to work collaboratively and creatively with winemakers and their team to unlock the true potential of the region, the varieties and the wines.

Tasting Events

A knowledgeable and engaging speaker, my passion and enthusiasm for wine and its regions comes through on every occasion.

  • MASTERCLASSES

    For wine enthusiasts, trade and professionals.

  • CONSUMER FOCUSED

    Consumer focused tastings to bring wine regions to life.

  • CORPORATE

    From light-hearted ‘How to Taste’ sessions to more collaborative and fun wine games such as blind tasting; these icebreakers make for the most memorable of events.

  • PRIVATE

    Private events personalised to your taste and requirements.

My Background

Wine, for me, embodies the coalescence of art, science, geography and people, and it is this rich combination that has fuelled my passion for wine over the past 20 years of my career.

My strength lies in identifying the potential for success and bringing new wines through to market.

This is founded on a deep understanding of what the consumer wants developed from over 10 years of sourcing wines in online retail and working as a sommelier for Gordon Ramsay. I have successfully sourced, blended and launched wines from 17 countries working with independent winemakers to established family-owned wineries.
