Based in North Carolina, I'm a wine instructor at The Chef's Academy and owner of The Clever Vine, a wine consulting and education service. I hold the WSET Diploma and have a strong background in French wine, with a special interest in the Loire Valley.
The Lovely Loire Valley
I absolutely love the Loire Valley in France. There, you can find wines that are white, red, rose, sparkling, sweet - there is such diversity. Grapes grown range from Melon de Bourgogne, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, and others. I find myself constantly drawn to these options on wine lists and at wine shops. This list will serve to report what I've tasted recently and enjoyed. Cheers!
