| Introduction | So I was born and grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia and it was our annual Christmas holiday to Australia that introduced me to the wine world. I then moved to Canada and graduated with a BSc from the University of Alberta. Unsure of what I wanted to do, the idea of wine dawned on me. It was then that I decided to follow my heart, I moved to St. Catharines ON, and enrolled in the Cold Climate Oenology and Viticulture Program at Brock University. I graduated last year and have just returned from working a harvest in the Yarra Valley, Aus. Since my return I have thrown myself in the ISG program, and I hope to have completed the Sommelier Diploma by next year. |
