I have spent over 25 years in the wine trade. In that time I have done most things, managing wine shops, selling to the trade, hotels and restaurants, buying, marketing and a great deal of tasting.
I have been a wine educator since 1995 and love showing people what exciting and varied wine there is in this world. Even after all this time I get a thrill from introducing people to new and exciting wines as well as finding new audiences for my jokes and stories.
I am a regular judge at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles wine competition, a member of The Association of Wine Educators, a member of The Circle of Wine Writers, a member of the Federation International de Journalistes en Vin (FIJEV) and a Wine & Spirit Education Trust Recommended Tutor and hold the Wine & Sprit Education Trust Certificate and Higher Certificate with Distinction as well as both parts of the Diploma.
I can give consumers and members of the trade a good, solid grounding in basic working wine knowledge. This allows them, in turn to give good advice and often leads to them having a life long love affair with wine. Most of my students return for more advanced courses and tastings, so developing their knowledge and understanding.

Hi Quentin Sadler,
I love your article.
Thank you very much. We may have chance to join a judging somewhere sometime.
Cheer!
Thank you for comments on wine stories/mysteries…like many wine lovers the reference books get old but useful…but we relish the idea to immerse ourselves in a fiction or non fiction journey into the world we love. I thought I was among a small group of people who cannot get enough of stories, movies, art etc of what is so important to us… Thanks again…Sal
