I love wine! That's all there is to it. And, I want everyone to love it too. There are so
many ways to enjoy wine. It enhances and enriches ones life.

I began studying wine  at the Cordon Bleu school in London, England where I lived
for 6 years. In that time, I dined at numerous restaurants with fantastic wines and
helpful sommeliers. This encouraged me to further educate myself about the
wonderful world of wine. I thought I would pursue a career as a Sommelier. I
quickly found out that a Sommelier is not the right position for a parent of a
young child as they are regularly working past midnight!

After moving back to New York in 2001, I continued my education by taking more
wine courses and attending as many tastings and events as I possibly could. I
found a greater sense of how important it is to enjoy life and pursue my dreams as
I was moving into my new home in Battery Park City, New York..move in day..
September 11, 2001. Needless to say, we did not make it in that day and after 6
weeks at a hotel in Jersey City, NJ my then 6 year old son, convinced me to move to  
Battery Park City  anyway. He helped me get through that sadness and realize how
important it is to live! And, with that in mind, wine is part of that living!
