My experience & knowledge are based on many years of face-to-face contact with winemakers, wine traders, wine consumers and vineyard owners worldwide. As a Director of the American Institute of Wine & Food, Boston Chapter, an international wine judge and a licensed educator for the French Wine Society, I have access to a substantial wine and food database and to an extensive network of hospitality industry professionals.

The hallmarks of my writing are well-researched material plus an informative yet entertaining style that engages readers regardless of their levels of wine expertise. For recently published clips, go to 'Articles & Links' on this website. To see my blog about current wine issues 'From the Grapevine', go to Telegram.com/Blogs.

Most importantly, my reputation with the editors I work with is founded on my 'can do' attitude, reliability, hi-res graphics support and my unfailing consistency in meeting deadlines.
