​Wine tasting is hugely subjective. The brain creates the taste of wine based on a myriad of inputs and shifting experiential frames... No two people will 'taste' exactly the same thing. 

 

Yet, the way wine is discussed, taught, sold - it's as though an objective truth exists, when the reality is far more fluid. This rigid approach creates a barrier for many consumers... which you'll know if you've ever found yourself saying: "I love wine but I don't know anything about it".

​

Inspired by insights from psychology and neuroscience, I aim to create a space to tune into the senses, and put the focus on you and your palate, as much as the wine itself. I believe that by focusing on how we drink as much as what we drink we can seriously enhance and transform our wine experiences, making every sip count.

 

In 2021 I completed the WSET Diploma in Wine with Distinction, graduating amongst the top 2% of graduates globally. I love sharing my passion for wine, helping to empower and inspire people in their exploration and appreciation of wine. I hope you'll join me for a multi-sensory journey through your palate, and your mind!
