Allie

Most memorable wine?
2009 St. Urban Riesling from Vineland Estate - the toast at my wedding!

What was your first wine?
Malivoire Lady Bug Rose, a favourite of my parents for many years.

What’s your most unusual wine experience?
Wine from the grocery tap in Italy! Wildly delicious and perhaps moreso because it felt adventurous and silly at the same time!

Which wine do you love at the moment?
Tawse Spark, a truly exceptional example of traditional sparkling wine in Niagara.

Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
