Favourite grape or wine region? 

Favourite grape? Syrah. Favourite region? Beaujolais.

Are you a dog or cat person? Or maybe neither. Maybe you have birds or turtles or an ant farm?

I’m a dog person- ask to see pictures of my bulldog, Mack!

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

It’s hard to say but probably something related to food; I love the idea of working in a test kitchen.

Pair with Costco Organic Castelvetrano Green Olives

Made with some 32 botanicals (the majority coming from the Alps), Dolin’s Blanc is more complex and a tad sweeter than their “Dry” – the classic choice when it comes to making the perfect martini. That complexity and subtle sweetness lends itself perfectly in a number of cocktails, most notably in the White Negroni (replace Lillet) or have it on its own over ice. My mixture of choice: in a double rocks glass, add 1.5 ounce over ice, fill the rest of the glass with sparkling wine (sub in club soda for a lower ABV version), and add a castelvetrano olive with a lemon peel for garnish – refreshing and just complex enough to keep you from drinking it all in one gulp!
