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 put pen to page, sharing his Thai-influenced culinary wisdom in a new cookbook, and I'm honoured to have written the wine component.
