Lady Oenotria ~ Wine Valet

A blog about wine. Enjoying wine, tasting wine, buying wine, sharing wine. No critical analysis of wine. Just enjoying a drop in its natural setting. Mostly in Melbourne, Australia.

About Me

Lady Oenotria: New World adventurer, boutique wineries advocate and personal wine shopper. May 'talk wine' at length with others. I have a rather grand passion for wine, travel and writing. I am good at writing, better at travelling and best at wine tasting! For me, the wine industry is about people, places and stories. Drinking wine should be fun. It brings people together and is a key ingredient for laughter. I do not wish to ever be a wine critic however I do like to find out the reasons why I like some wines more than others. I love Champagne. I believe every wine has a time and place. My biggest wish is to be able to share the world of wine with others in a fun and enjoyable way. To fund my passions I act as a Private Wine Buyer, or Wine Valet, buying interesting wines in smallish quantities for a select few. Occasionally I am requested to put together wine lists or act a wine region tour guide. To keep my finger on the pulse of the Australian wine industry, I also moonlight as a Sales Agent for Australian Wine Selectors. Feel free to join me on my adventures, comment on my ramblings or just drop an email to say G’Day. Catherine, aka Lady Oenotria
