a 35 years old expat living in Paris. My passion is about tasting wines and food, and taking photos. I speak English, French, Spanish, and Russian, which helps me greatly while traveling and writing this blog.My wine journey started with amateur tasting classes and wine fairs in Paris. It went on visiting wineries all over France. I have pursued wine-travelling going many times to Spain and to various regions of Italy, Portugal, USA, Canada, Argentina, Greece, Bulgaria, Georgia and Hungary.Since 2017, I have been part of the jury of the Vignerons indépendants contest, and since 2018, I have been a table president at that contest .My professional qualifications include the professional certification for French wines at École du Vin de France in Paris (2018), and the wine tasting specialist diploma from Escuela Española de Cata in Madrid (2019). I’m also very fond of coffee culture and I obtained the barista certification in 2017
