About Shannon
A love of wine, a passion for people, and a mission to make it accessible to everyone.
A Journey of Taste & Discovery
As I advance toward my WSET Level 3 certification my primary focus is on continuing to learn more about specific varietals and regions that are less familiar to me. This isn't just about drinking wine; it's about understanding the terroir, the history, and the craftsmanship that goes into every bottle. It is a rigorous study of taste, translated into an experience that can be shared.
The Wine Circle is the manifestation of this journey. I invite you to join me for interactive, laid-back wine experiences where we strip away the intimidation often associated with fine wine.
My tastings are designed to be conversations, not lectures — spaces where questions are encouraged and palates are awakened. I want us to learn from each other and, above all, have fun!
The WSET Difference
The Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) is the world's leading provider of qualifications and courses in wines and spirits. As a WSET Level 2 Certified host, Shannon brings a structured, evidence-based understanding of wine to every experience — going beyond tasting notes to explore the science and geography behind each glass.
Pursuing Level 3 means Shannon is deepening her knowledge of specific regions, the effects of climate and soil on flavor, and the intricacies of wine production — knowledge she translates into accessible, fascinating conversation for guests at every experience level.
