I grew up in Montreal, Canada, one of the gastronomic centers of the world. Great food and wine are an integral part of our culture. When I was in college, an uncle with an extensive wine cellar helped me discover some of the best wines from Bordeaux and Burgundy — and my lifelong passion was born.

Throughout my career in aerospace engineering, I’ve been fortunate enough to live in and travel to many wine regions of the world, and expand my knowledge through firsthand tastings and tours. After focusing extensively on wines from France while living in Quebec, I then diligently collected and studied wines from Sonoma and Napa while living in California, where I currently reside. I also expanded to Washington state offerings during the time I lived in Seattle. My travels in Europe and South America also opened my eyes to other wine regions and the discovery of other gems.

While I’ve accumulated extensive experience throughout my years of wine exploration and travel, I’m not a part of the wine trade or industry. This means that I’m unbiased in my insight, and don’t have any hidden agenda to push certain products. I’m just a dedicated wine enthusiast who wants to share his passion, and help you maximize your wine discovery and enjoyment.
