Yup, this is me. I’ve been running around the restaurants on the cruise ship for a few years. The job of a sommelier is not always as elegant as it seems. Like everything, it has its pros and cons, but I generally liked it. I especially enjoyed my cruise ship job because one day, I woke up in one incredible destination and tomorrow in another. By the next week, before you’re even aware of the time passed, you’re in the next city you thought you could only dream about.
I’ve learned a lot about service, hospitality, other cultures, sales, etc.
Wine became my passion. Then I tried craft beer for the first time. My first craft beer was one of the signature Brew Dog’s beers – Punk IPA. It opened a whole new world of taste for me! Wow, hops can be like grapes, too.
Then came coffee… I started loving coffee to the point of opening my own coffee shop, which unfortunately was closed during the COV-19 pandemic, but you’ve got it – I’ve been in hospitality for some time already. I should know what I’m talking about, and here I am, ready to share everything I know and research about with you.
Keep in mind that my tasting preferences will always make me subjective when it comes to IPAs and New England IPAs when it comes to beer, and New Zealand Riesling when it comes to wines.
