About

Welcome!  Just a little bit about me and why The Wandering Vine...I grew up in a small town just north of Charlotte, NC.  I was surrounded by parents who loved experiencing life.  They instilled a love of travel and a belief to be the best at whatever job you do.  My life's path has included jobs in marketing and public relations and teaching.  I have been married for almost 30 years to the most amazing, supportive friend and partner one could ask for.  We have two grown daughters who bring us joy everyday.  I am nearing the end of my teaching career and planning for next steps.  I thought, why not blend the things I'm good at with the things I love?  The Wandering Vine will allow me to use my teaching skills to educate others about the many facets of wine.  I'm not pretentious about wine- at the end of the day, you like what you like.   I am continuing my education at Johnson and Wales as I pursue my certifications in wine through the Wine and Spirits Educational Trust program.
