Hello, I'm Diana

A wine writer, retail specialist, now buyer-turned-brand ambassador, I’ve been drinking and educating for over a decade. We’ve all experienced the pain of a sommelier handing you the cork at a restaurant, or felt paralysis of choice in the grocery store wine aisle. Have you ever picked a bottle based solely on the label? Do you order the same by-the-glass option over and over because you don’t know what else is out there? Or defaulted to whatever your one foodie friend gets, just to avoid having to decide on your own? Can you open Champagne without fear?I’m here for you. A book is coming, but in the meantime, follow me for booze clues.
