About Your Host

From wine enthusiast to wine communicator, Shehnaz's journey into the world of wine began with a simple goal — to make sense of wine labels, grape varieties, and wine regions.

Fast forward nearly two decades, and she has visited more than 900 vineyards across five continents. Her travels have taken her to France, Spain, Portugal, South Africa, Argentina, Chile, Lebanon, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Croatia, Germany, Austria, Italy, Greece, and closer to home, vineyards across England and Wales.

Countless tastings and several wine qualifications later, her appreciation has only deepened for the geography, history, culture, and food that shape and influence different wine styles around the world.

Shehnaz firmly believes there is a wine for everyone. The key? Keep an open mind and be willing to explore new and unfamiliar grapes or regions — curiosity in wine is almost always rewarded.
