RETIRED SOMMELIER · PHOTOGRAPHER
Travel, Drinks, and the Stories in Between
You can learn a lot about a place by paying attention to what’s in the glass – and more importantly, why it’s in the glass. I write about the people, history, rituals, and occasional absurdities that make a destination interesting. I take more photographs than the situation probably warrants, and seek out the experiences that definitely aren’t in the brochure.
