The intellectual challenge of wine is appealing. There is always something new to learn, to remember, to revisit, to taste... I hope to always be in a position to learn more about this esoteric yet everyday delight and to share it with others.

After a decade in banking, Charmaine decided to take up a new challenge of entering a completely different (and significantly more fun) industry: wine. A few years of wine schooling helped make the transition, and Charmaine now works full-time in Napa for a major supplier, helping other people discover what's special about wine for themselves.
