Pat Wainwright

Pat Wainwright has been a keen taster since her first attendance at a wine appreciation evening class in 1984. Since abandoning a career in IT (too boring) she has gained the WSET Diploma in wines and spirits and spent even more time tasting and passing on the interest to others. She has presented tastings to DWS , other societies, and groups of colleagues in IT. Special interests: New World and Old World (except Italy!)
