Favourite grape or wine region?

Champagne! But anywhere that makes delicious sparkling wines as well!

Share something personal; what’s your favourite book, movie or song?

A Knight’s Tale, but there’s lots of movies I love watching over and over which drives my husband nuts!

If you weren’t selling wine at Bishop’s Cellar, what would you be doing?

Traveling and visiting all the wine countries I could- provided I’ve won the lottery and don’t have to actually work. If not, then still being a part of the alcohol beverage industry somehow.

🏺 Our Wine Journey


My wine journey began humbly, with secret sips of Black Tower Riesling “liberated” from my parents’ liquor cabinet.  Ah, those were the days of “sophisticated” sweetness! Little did my teenage palate know the wine-related adventures that lay ahead. Fast forward a few years (and a few more questionable bottles), and my taste buds started craving something…more.  Enter the world of real wine, a revelation that concluded in the sublime experience of André Clouet Grand Reserve Champagne. From sweetish simplicity to the elegant complexity of Grand Cru Champagne, it’s been a delicious, occasionally bewildering, but always rewarding evolution.  Who knew my parents’ “stash” would lead me to such bubbly heights?
