DRINK BETTER WINE IN BETTER PLACES.

Why wine?

For me, wine invokes a sense of place. It’s memory. It’s history. It’s land. It’s people. I think of hands in dirt and fruit pushing against skin, and the wine in the glass becomes something more than a drink. It’s an entire story.

I write about wine

And sometimes cider. Cocktails. Coffee. Whatever I sip that presents a similar sense of story.

I write about travel

Always a bit of a restless soul, I’m constantly moving. Home is wherever I happen to be with my notebooks.

I write about people

When we come together somewhere in the world, I want to know why you’re there and where you’re going.

Freelance

As a freelance writer, I’m available to write about wine, travel, or anything you’re curious about.

Editorial Strategies

I’ve been creating copy for small brands and big businesses for almost 15 years. I can tell your story.

Consulting

Need help choosing the right wine or finishing up a trip itinerary? I can probably give you a fresh perspective.
