About Me

I have worked in cellars, vineyards, and wine shops since 2005. I have authored or co-authored 5 books on wine and work in wine club management and marketing in the Okanagan Valley. My most recent book, The Sipster’s Pocket Guide to 50 Must-Try Ontario Wines, volume 1 follows on the success of 2 similarly-titled volumes about British Columbia wines (The Sipster’s Pocket Guide to 50 Must-Try BC Wines, Volume 2 (Touchwood Editions 2023) and The Sipster’s Pocket Guide to 50 Must-Try BC Wines. All of them mark an innovative new direction in wine writing. My first book, Valleys of Wine: A Taste of British Columbia’s Wine History was published in 2019 and I co-authored the 6th edition of The Okanagan Wine Tour Guide with John Schreiner in 2020.
