Wine Fun

Valais, Switzerland

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of being involved in harvesting, selling, tasting, wine, visiting beautiful vineyards, and even getting a WSET II certification. I try to cultivate the “simple good life,” inspired by these experiences and my time living and teaching English in France.
