After a 20 year love affair with wine, James has now turned his hobby into a career. Using the skills he honed as a performing musician and as a certified trainer of various software products, he has taken what he learned in his travels and developed a unique and highly regarded tasting experience for winery visitors.
In addition to his work experience, James is now certified by the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) in wine and spirits and is a member of the Society of Wine Educators. Using the nom de plume of Jimmy Cocktail, James is the owner and lead author of At Least I’m Enjoying the Ride, a blog dedicated to food, wine and fun since 2008.
