Since
obtaining her WSET Diploma in 1996, Carol has been tasting, talking,
teaching and writing about wine in Aberdeen and around Scotland and is know
for her informal, infectious, enthusiastic style. With a background in
hospitality management, Carol understands the needs of both the trade and
consumer when it comes to wine education.
Carol is
an Approved Programme Provider and tutor for the WSET. She also offers Wine
Education Service courses and Workshops as well as corporate entertainment
wine tastings. Carol can act as your host for gourmet wine dinners and
enjoys the challenges presented when food and wine combining.
A

for the Aberdeen based lifestyle magazine ‘Trend’ and wine and travel
features for the Inverness based Highland Life Magazine. From 1999 to
2009, she was the weekly wine columnist for the Press and Journal
Newspaper.
Carol has travelled around many wine regions of the world and has
visited France, Spain, Portugal, Madeira, Italy, Germany, Austria, South

the world.
