What a year! 2022 was a memorable one for SO many reasons. Where do I even begin?

  • I led my first webinar on Cabernet Franc on behalf of Loire Valley Wines.

  • I went on my first major intensive tasting trip to the Loire Valley since launching this project. I created a rather bonkers schedule for myself visiting more than 26 domaines in 9 days, tasting anywhere from 50 to 80 Cabernet Francs a day. I got to taste some incredible wines, and meet/see some of my idols and most beloved estates for the first time.

  • Completed (finally!) my WSET Diploma.

  • I posted Video #100 for this project - a feat that still feels so surreal and brings me such pride as well

Best of all, I got the opportunity to meet for the first time so many amazing people who, up until this year, I’ve only been able to connect with here on Instagram.

I’ve also tasted A LOT of Cabernet Franc this year, and I didn’t get to write as many posts as I had hoped, but that will change in 2023! There have been many memorable wines and moment…
