Q: What do you enjoy most about your work with Forbes magazine?Ī: In 2021, I applied for and was accepted as a new Forbes contributor to write about wine business and wine lifestyle. Doing all of this really gave me a clearer insight into all of the complexities of growing grapes and making wine, and I was able to tap into that experience when writing MW exam essays. I took home-winemaking classes at UC Davis and joined GENCO (Garage Enologists of Sonoma County) so I could learn to make wine with my husband in our garage.

The vineyard taught me so much, including how to deal with issues such as powdery mildew and gophers, but also the meditative joy of suckering, harvesting and pruning a vineyard. Q: How did you prep for the Master of Wine exam?Ī: What helped me to pass the MW exam was planting our hobby vineyard of 120 pinot noir vines in 2003 on our property in the Petaluma Gap (American Viticultural Area). It was in that moment that a passion was born in me to learn about the wines of the world and to share that knowledge with others. I was smelling and tasting the wine, laughing with friends, looking out over the vineyards, and it hit me what a magical drink wine is. It was at Beringer, and we had just finished the cave tour and gathered for the tasting in the old mansion. Answer: It was during my undergraduate years in the Bay Area that friends and I would take day trips to Napa and Sonoma, and that’s how I fell in love with wine.
