Hailing from the great city of Toronto, I fell out of love with Finance and in love with wine.
I quit my job, packed my bags, and headed to Bordeaux, France, to get my MBA in Luxury Brand Strategy with a specialization in wine. Currently residing in a little apartment above a negociant in the old wine quarter in Bordeaux proper, I am in charge of developing the Hong Kong market for one of the largest Bordeaux based wine merchants in the world.
It may have been my upbringing being surrounded by chefs and good food, or my fortunate position to have visited some of the best wine making regions around the world way before I was legally allowed to drink the stuff. Really though when it comes down to it, wine I equate with the celebration of life.
I drink wine at work, I drink wine after work. Pretty much I am always drinking wine, and I love it!
