As a certified sommelier, I provide personalized wine reviews tailored to your preferences. You select the wine you’d like evaluated, and I will purchase it (wine cost covered by the client), taste it, and deliver a professional review. Each review includes detailed sensory notes (aroma, flavor, structure, balance), pairing recommendations, and contextual insights about the wine’s region and style. My goal is to help you understand and appreciate the wine’s character, quality, and best uses, offering an authentic expert perspective.
I offer independent testing and professional reviews of personal care products, including skin care, body lotions, shampoos, and other cosmetics. You select the product(s) you’d like evaluated, and I will purchase them (product cost covered by the client), test them thoroughly, and provide a detailed review. Each evaluation includes insights on texture, absorption, scent, effectiveness, and user experience, along with recommendations for suitability across different skin or hair types. My goal is to deliver an honest, expert perspective that helps you understand the product’s quality and performance before wider use or purchase decisions.
I am a certified sommelier with formal training from La Escuela del Vino in Costa Rica and hands-on experience representing wineries at major wine fairs, including La Travesía del Vino and Expovino. I conduct guided tastings, provide sensory analysis, write professional wine reviews, and create thoughtful food and wine pairing recommendations. I am comfortable presenting wines to both enthusiasts and industry professionals, using clear communication and storytelling to create engaging, memorable experiences. My knowledge spans Old and New World wine regions, wine service, decanting techniques, mixology, and beverage pairing. I am also a certified KCBS judge with experience evaluating barbecue.
