◆ Wine writerI was one of the earliest bloggers in 2003. "The Caveman's Wineblog" was singled out by The Wall Street Journal in 2005 as one of the most interesting wine blogs on the net. I have been the weekend wine writer in The Montreal Gazette since 2007, reaching over 200,000 people weekly. I am a national critic on Chacun son vin/Wine Align, Canada's largest wine oriented web site. I have written numerous freelance columns on wine and spirits. ◆ Specialist in French to English TranslationA reader should feel like a text was initially written in that language. As a writer with in-depth knowledge of wine and spirits, combined with being fully bilingual, I am in a unique position to translate communications from French to English. I have translated for major magazines like SAQ Cellier, as well as a number of wine and spirit related web-sites. ◆ SpeakerWether it is for corporate interests, industry or consumer, my approach is has always been to deliver the facts in the most fun and interesting way possible. Learn while laughing has always been my approach to any tasting that I host.◆SommelierMuch overused term. I have over 25 years of experience in various aspects of the wine industry which include a 6 year stint as head sommelier at the Relais/Chateau L'eau a la Bouche. Matching food and wine is not only a specialty, it is a passion.
