What is your most memorable wine or wine and food experience?
My most memorable experience is attending a wine and food pairing session presented by a member of the Nanaimo Winemakers.

What wines have you always wanted to try but haven’t? What is your favorite vineyard? Region?
I would like to visit the Alsace region to experience their wines (and food).  My most favorite wines are made in the Rhone region.

What event or experience started your journey in wine?
I had the opportunity to work for a grape grower. Through him I met a member of the Nanaimo Winemakers and the BC Guild of Wine judges.   I joined the Nanaimo Winemakers first and later became a member of the BC Guild of Wine Judges.  I have never looked back.   As for the future: there is so much to learn!
