Who am I?
My name is Sabrina and I am a millennial “wine enthusiast,” with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Cal Poly Pomona. I am WSET Level 2 and 3 certified and working on my Winemaking Certificate from UC Davis as well as an Associate of Science in Enology.
Why wine?
I was never a big fan of wine until I moved to Italy in August 2018 for a semester abroad. I tried wines from the multiple regions of Italy and did a wine tasting in Tuscany. It was in Italy where my appreciation for wine begun. When I came back to finish out my last semester at Cal Poly Pomona, I enrolled myself in a wine class where I learned a lot about the production of wine and how to better taste it. This class really helped me develop my love and appreciation for wine.
Favorite wine?
My favorite wine depends on the day. I like to try anything and everything these days, but I’ll always go back to Sangiovese and Barbera.
Why do you love wine?
I love wine because it is something that brings my family together. We drink wine with almost every meal and we drink a lot of wine with hot pot during Christmas.
