WINES AND SPIRITS FROM THE WORLD

What started as wine journal on a tattered notebook has turned into a reputable wine blog. I am a Kenyan girl who was always curious about wine. I sought to understand what wine is about beyond the normal white wine and red wine label. I also teach what I learn. I have taken an active role in teaching myself about wine through the years. Whether it is through wine events, online blogs, wine classes, communities and wine trips, I am always looking for interesting stories to cover here. I have been lucky enough to work with global brands and visit different wine countries. I am on a mission to visit all the wine regions in the world. Meanwhile, these are my stories so far.

How I got started in wine

My first wine bottle was disappointing. I remember buying it from one of those wines & spirits outlets in Nairobi. I served it in a plastic tumbler and hated the first sip. It was astringent and somewhat bitter. “Is this how wine is supposed to taste? There has to be something better“, I told myself.  And so I began. I got on my laptop and searched for the term “Wine in Kenya”  and “Wine events in Kenya” and found very little information. I had an old notebook where I would scribble what I was learning. In a few months, I started an online journal which was meant to be a private space for myself to learn about wine. You can see my old 2013 blog here.  

I accidentally shared one blog post on Facebook and people started asking me wine questions. That prompted me to learn more so that I could answer those questions. Through this blog, I have been able to teach, share, network and travel  for wine. I am excited to fill this space with my stories and moments. Wine has always been something that has piqued my interest for years. I started this blog as a place to share everything that I was learning about wine.
