I have been involved in the London wine trade for the past 6 years and founded this blog in 2008. I began this blog to cover the London wine trade scene but have since expanded into general wine related events in London including the wine lists of London restaurants and wine bars. 

I have passed the WSET Advanced Certificate and have now branched out into conducting wine tastings, consulting and on occasion, judging. Contact me if you'd like more information. 

I also write about wine lifestyle and travel, including my visits to vineyards, chats with winemakers and reviewing luxury spas. I occasionally stray into the cocktail arena, always looking for the Perfect Manhattan on the rocks :)";s:15:"currentLocation";s:10:"London, UK";s:6:"emails";a:1:{i:0;a:2:{s:7:"primary";s:4:"true";s:5:"value";s:23:"denisemedrano@gmail.com";}}s:8:"accounts";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:6:"domain";s:12:"facebook.com";s:7:"display";s:14:"DeniseAMedrano";s:3:"url";s:38:"http://www.facebook.com/DeniseAMedrano";s:8:"username";s:14:"DeniseAMedrano";s:8:"verified";s:4:"true";s:9:"shortname";s:8:"facebook";}}s:4:"urls";a:0:{}}}}
