We at the Tuscan Wine School are very proud to have her on our team!
The staff at the wine school are entirely selected on how "unsnobby" they are about wine!
Of course, we take our wines seriously because we are serious wine drinkers! But we believe that wine should be fun, an experience that we want to share with others.
We are an outgoing team, who burn to share our knowledge and experiences with you!
