Your author is Sean Mitchell. I have been interested in wine for more than 10 years, and have been writing about it since 2009 on
Grape Observer. A lawyer by training, I believe that all education is important, including in wine, and have successfully completed the
Wine & Spirit Education Trust (
WSET) Advanced Certificate in Wine and Spirits. I am currently studying for the WSET Diploma in Wine and Spirits, WSET's flagship qualification. My wine philosophy is rather simple and democratic: if it tastes good, it is good. I am a current member of
Wine Communicators of Australia Inc.
