Why is she writing this I wonder….
…well I think the image sums it up in part. I LOVE wine, and I love food and I love travelling and I thought this might be a good place to share some of that.
A few years ago, whilst working in advertising and feeling a little uninspired and in need of an outlet beyond my office job, I took a WSET Level 2 Certificate in Wine. For those of you to whom this acronym means nothing - that’s Wine and Spirits Education Trust, the globally recognised body who organise qualifications and exams in this field. Needless to say, I enjoyed it a lot and it gave me a bit of a nudge as to what I should do next.
Since then, i’ve spent nearly two years working for and gaining invaluable experience at a lovely independent wine merchants in Manchester and now it’s time for the next step. Learning about wine was like learning a new language and its important to practise these things! So that is why i’m doing this. To continue learning and discovering and to record these experiences and to hopefully be a bit entertaining along the way.
