More about Today guest moderator:
Half Welsh, half Italian. Born and bred in Puglia I’m now settled in Cardiff where I’ve been for the past 4 years. After graduating in 2012 from Aberystwyth University in Business and Management with Spanish, It was a simple wine course back in 2013 that sparked my passion for wine and I now hold the AIS certification as a Sommelier, level 3 WSET, and recently qualified as an Italian Wine Ambassador with the VIA Accademy. I have extensive experience in the sector including time with the award winning Australian winery ‘Jim Barry Wines’ as well as dedicating the last 5 years to the promotion of wines from Puglia around the globe.
My passion is now my job, and I now run my own company, WinesnVines, with the aim to import and distribute wines from Italy in the UK market, focusing on smaller producers and native varieties from Italy.
I recently founded and organised the 1st edition of the Cardiff Wine Festival.
I’m a real wine enthusiast and always on the hunt for new varieties!
