I have been a member of just about every wine club, active and folded, in Ottawa over the last 30 years. Over the years many people expressed appreciation (to shades and degrees) of my enthusiasm for and interpretation of wines. A few years ago I decided to formalize my applied research and secured my sommelier accreditation.

Like you, I have come to favour certain wines, wine styles, and regions. I like to think I am aware of my biases and will let you know when they surface. I am highly curious about wine and venture happily beyond my established wine preferences.
