Top Drop Canada
I'm a co-founder of this dynamic wine event in Vancouver, now embarking on our fifth year. Top Drop is an opportunity for terroir-focused, hands-on international wineries to share their wines and their stories with savvy, engaged trade and consumers. In 2018, we add a Calgary edition!

So stoked to be an invited guest and panelist at this annual Italian festival in July, combining art, music, literature and, of course, wine!

Loblaws
As Real Canadian Superstores begin to have wine licenses to sell British Columbian wine, I'm doing some consulting, co-ordinating B.C. wine ambassadors to work in stores during peak times to assist shoppers with their purchases.
