Carol Chamberlain, CSW, MWE, CWJ
Owner
Carol started to embrace her passion for wine and wine knowledge at 16 when she moved with her family to Frankfurt, Germany. She loved boating down the Rhine River with her classmates enjoying a glass or two of fine German Riesling.
In 2010, she began studying wine as an alternative to her 20 year career in IT. She began studying at the International Wine Guild in Denver. She continued her education through their entire 20 class curriculum. Subsequently, she became one of the instructors holding the title of ‘Master Wine Educator.’ She has also earned WSET and CSW certifications. Carol constantly works on increasing her wine knowledge base.
Carol supplements this education with extensive travel to wine producing areas of Europe. This has only served to fuel her excitement of discovery and encouraged her to continue learning about and ‘sampling’ great wines of the world.
Teaching wine classes to students – awakening their passion for wine – has encouraged her to use her wine expertise. She loves sharing her knowledge of the genres of wine – plants, food, people, places. She is excited to use the power of the internet to enhance and enrich anyone’s wine experience globally.
