Sheridan Kiple is not only family, she is the official blogger of Albatross Wines! Her story begins when she was a first-year student at Washington University studying in Paris. She spent a weekend in Champagne, immersed in the beauty of the vineyards and fell in love with both the craft and culture of winemaking. From that moment on, the Chicago-born, French-fluent, student's life was forever changed.
Along with pursuing a career in Finance, her wine journey has led her to completing CMS (Court of Master Sommeliers) Level 1, WSET (Wine and Spirit Education Trust) Level 3, and she is now studying for her WSET Diploma. All of which means her depth of knowledge in viniculture, vinification, wine characteristics, quality, style and blind tasting skills are off the charts. Basically, in layperson terms, this woman knows her sh*t!
Sheridan’s travels have taken her to vineyards across France, Italy, South Africa, Greece, Portugal, Australia, and New Zealand. For her, wine is about the people, traditions, food and travel. Through her writing, she will share not only her knowledge, but also her sense of curiosity and joy for discovery. From tasting notes and travel insights to cultural connections and pairing ideas, she is going to take us on an exciting journey.
Albatross Wines is so proud and lucky to have her on board to share her passion and insights.
The next stamps on her passport include Thailand and Spain, so stay tuned!
