Wendy is a leading Bordeaux wine educator, sharing her passion for Bordeaux through writing, speaking and welcoming people to the Bordeaux vineyards. British born, she has lived in Bordeaux for over 30 years. After graduating from University in Agricultural Economics, she studied a master’s in international Agri-Food Marketing in Paris, staying there to work in food marketing for eight years. When she married a Sauternes producer and moved to Bordeaux, she beacame the regional correspondent for the British Trade Magazine Drinks International. As a leading Bordeaux wine educator, Wendy teaches professionals and the general public in Bordeaux and internationally. She has been teaching at the Ecole du Vin de Bordeaux since 1997 and specializes in training the International Bordeaux wine educators for the Bordeaux Wine Council and is a trade educator for The Medoc Wine Council. She has published two books: Bordeaux Bootcamp, an insider guide to Bordeaux basics, and The Drinking Woman’s Diet, a liver friendly lifestyle guide. In 2022 she created the online course 7 Weeks to a liver friendly lifestyle, the online guide to wine and wellness. She blogs regularly about the region and wine and wellness on Insider Tasting. Wendy is passionate about helping people to get behind an often-unrealistic image of what Bordeaux is and how it works, dusting off what can often be seen exclusive and unapproachable wine region. She loves nothing more than introducing wine lovers to the people and the place behind the products. With her family, she is currently renovating a ruined 16th century Château to welcome guests into the very heart of the Bordeaux vineyards. She splits her year between Bordeaux and Mauritius where she pursues her passion for yoga.
