Life
When I was in my early twenties I started going to wine tastings and joined some wine-tasting groups. I wanted to learn about wine and find a rich man to marry, and I thought this would be a good way to accomplish both. Well, the first part worked.
Over the years I've traveled to many of the world's greatest wine-producing regions and dined at some of the world's best restaurants. I've enjoyed private tastings with world-renowned wine makers, exclusive tours of wineries, and wine-tasting dinners prepared by Michelin-rated chefs.

I have many years of experience writing technical training material and training adults to use technology. I've drawn upon this experience to develop the To Your Taste! Wine Party Kit and games and make the kit fun and easy to use.
Practically speaking, I've worked as a wine consultant for more than six years in one of the biggest and best wine stores on the East Coast. I've participated in and conducted hundreds of wine tastings. I read about wine and food, I study, and I practice, practice, practice. That's how to become a real wine-know!
The To Your Taste! Wine Party Kit will be available in mid-2009. In the meantime, you can e-mail me to request an invitation to join the To Your Taste! Party Space social networking site. I look forward to hearing from you!
