A bit about your host:
From wine enthusiast to wine communicator, Shehnaz’s journey into wine started with trying to make sense of wine labels, grapes and wine regions. Fast forward almost two decades, Shehnaz has visited almost 850 vineyards across five continents. Her travels include France, Spain, Portugal, South Africa, Argentina, Chile, Lebanon, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Croatia, Germany, Austria, Italy, Greece and closer to home vineyards in England and Wales.
She has countless tastings and several wine qualifications under her belt – all of which have increased her appreciation for the geography, history, culture and food that shapes and influences the various styles and types of wine. She believes there is a wine for everyone; the key – keep an open mind and try new and unfamiliar wines or wine regions, as this curiosity is usually rewarded.
