Favourite grape or wine region?
So hard to pick just one! But if I had to, my favourite varietal would be Chardonnay and my favourite wine area would be Northern Italy (for white wines).
What’s one thing that people would be shocked to know about you?
That I was a vegetarian for over 8 years! Shocking.
What song would you pick for karaoke?
The only answer for both karaoke and staff party dances: Livin’ On A Prayer by Mr. Jon Bon Jovi.
