Let’s tell your wine’s story plainly
I work with wine brands and event organisers on content, articles, collaborations, events and consulting. I write clearly and honestly, starting from the people and the place behind the bottle.
I explain wine the way people talk about it
I write and host for people who like wine but would rather skip the lecture. That’s the voice of the wine journal, and how I run a tasting.
My own start was practical. I began as an import manager, learned the trade at wine events and studied through WSET. Just 10 days after arriving in the UK I was presenting 12 Ukrainian wineries at the London Wine Fair, so I know what it takes to introduce a producer to people who have never heard of it.
How we could work together
Wine content creation
Pictures and short writing that make a bottle, a producer or an evening easy to grasp. The voice stays honest and the language plain, with tasting-note poetry only where it’s earned.
- Instagram posts built around a single bottle
- Short notes from the glass with a little context
- Content from a visit or a tasting
Article writing
Longer pieces for the wine journal or your own channels, from producer visits and regions to explainers on how wine works.
- A winery visit, like my day at Tsiakkas in Cyprus
- A region on foot, like the grand cru slopes of Chablis
- An explainer, like why some dry wines feel softer
Collaborations with wine brands
I work with producers, importers and wine businesses to bring their wine to new audiences, through writing, tastings or shared events.
- Presenting a producer’s wines to guests
- A tasting or event built around your wines
- Co-created content for your channels
Organising and hosting events
I host and moderate tastings and can support collaborative events, looking after details such as glassware so you can focus on your guests.
- Themed tastings, such as Champagne and sparkling wines
- Tastings paired with food
- Wine dinners and launches
Wine consulting
Practical, honest advice for anyone who wants to choose or present wine well, and enjoy doing it.
- Wine selections for an occasion, style or budget
- Food and wine pairing ideas
- Reviews of a tasting or an event
