Top Drop Canada
I'm a co-founder of this dynamic wine event in Vancouver, embarking on our seventh 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 added a Calgary edition, and in 2019 Victoria was added to the roster!

Maenam: The Book
I've enjoyed consulting on the wine program at Maenam in Vancouver sporadically over the years, along with leaping into random adventures with chef/proprietor Angus An through various pursuits, from James Beard House dinners to pop-up Sherry bars. He's putting pen to page, sharing is Thai-influenced culinary wisdom in an upcoming cookbook, and I'm honoured to be writing the wine component.

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.
