I found my passion for wine in my twenties but kept it under wraps, letting it emerge on weekends and vacations pursuing what I thought were my career goals. It wasn’t until later that I finally had the courage to do what I’d always wanted to do and  launch my wine consulting business “Wine With Everything”. My mission is to make wine fun and approachable for anyone interested in wine from the beginner to the expert. My motto is drink what YOU like to drink.

After graduating  from university I pursued my wine education with Wine & Spirits Education Trust.  I completed level 3 with courses in North America, France and at the Tuscan Wine School in Italy.  When living in Europe, I worked during the harvests picking grapes as well as consulting in the wineries. I learned so much about European wines (especially those of France and Italy) and continue to explore and learn about all aspects of viticulture today. All of these experiences along with my retail training in Vancouver were fun and invigorating. I took them as signs that this was where I needed to shift my time and energy.

I now share my wine expertise and travel recommendations. In addition to working with private clients in their homes or locations of choice I provide cellar consultations and educational wine tasting experiences.
