After a fulfilling engineering career, it is time for change.  Growing up in a French-Canadian household, wine was always a topic of conversation.  So when in the spring of 2020, I found myself in wine country, I decided to use my wine training and work at a tasting room in Canada's Okanagan Valley. 

This eventually led me to the Wine and Spirits Education Trust Diploma Program (WSET Level 4) at the Austrian Wine Academy in Rust, Austria and Tuscany, Italy.  Upon completion in August 2023, I became one of approximately 12,500 program graduates worldwide.  This is an achievement that I am extremely proud of. 

Enter shades of grape Substack.

My goal is to impart my wine knowledge to allow people to understand why they enjoy their favorite wines and allow them to fully explore the wine world.

I will be posting weekly where you will get the newsletter email on Tuesday mornings. These will be short and sweet as I know you are busy! There will also be new information that will be added on the page as I begin to build this page with my existing content.

Substack is pretty cool … lots of great content from some big names!
