I work as a freelance consultant, educator/trainer, and drinks and food journalist specialising in wine. I’ve adopted a global approach rather than specialising in any one particular wine-producing region which gives me a broad perspective to communicate about wines and the wine industry.

Judging
Judging wine competitions is an important part of the annual ‘wine circuit’ with new vintages and wines coming to market all the time. Sally judges wine all over the world.
In the UK, she is a regular on the New Zealand panel for Decanter World Wine Awards, and a regular at the IWSC, including being panel chair for Germany. Outside of the UK, she has judged wine competitions in almost every continent.
