About Me

My journey has been a confusing one.

Ive had what seems like a peppered career within the hospitality industry consisting of me working in sales and promotion activations for Coca Cola and Nestle two of the largest FMCG confectionery and beverage brands, to organising and branding dinners and events at St Pauls Cathedral to the house of lords to the shard, to working with organisations to brand and position their companies and so now as a sommelier at The Goring Hotel it is finally starting to all make sense, because Ive been a lover of great food and wine ever since I can remember.

I get excited about tasting great flavours, pairing food with wine, and learning what works in terms of flavour pairings.

In the world of wine, personality is the key to unlocking a unique journey that mirrors personal values and sophistication. The art of wine selection goes beyond the swirls and sips; it becomes a reflection of one’s character and a statement of individual refinement. We delve into the authentic approach to wine selection, highlighting its significance in aligning with personal values and fostering sophistication.

Discovering Your Unique Wine Style

Authenticity in wine selection begins with understanding and embracing one’s genuine preferences.

Encouraging you to embark on this journey of self-discovery is the first step towards an authentic relationship with wine.

Understanding the importance of your genuine preferences involves exploring various wine regions, grape varieties, and styles. Rather than succumbing to external influences, you are encouraged to trust your palates and instincts. This authenticity in selection not only enhances the enjoyment of the wine but also communicates a sense of self-assurance and individuality.

The Significance of Wine Selection in Personal and Professional Settings

Authenticity transcends personal spaces and extends its influence into professional realms. Successful individuals often weave their authentic tastes seamlessly into both personal and professional settings. Imagine a corporate event where the choice of wine reflects not just business acumen but also a cultivated sense of refinement.

In personal settings, an authentic wine selection contributes to the creation of memorable experiences. Whether it’s an intimate dinner or a celebration with friends, the chosen wines become an extension of the host’s personality. This authenticity leaves a lasting imprint on guests, fostering a genuine connection through shared enjoyment.
