Bio
Abigail Reid
I have very fond memories of working with Stefan and I feel I would not be where I am today in a professional capacity if it were not for his incredible dedication to wine education. Despite his bottomless pit of technical knowledge, Stefan's teaching style was completely approachable, engaging and so well structured- you could not help but feel enthused by his passion for the industry and I treasure the opportunities I had attending training sessions and tastings with winemakers and brand ambassadors from the world over. I continue to feel inspired by Stefan and am so grateful for the strong foundation of knowledge he provided me.

I’m grateful what he thought me about wine and that knowledge I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Thank you Stefan! You are the best! Dovile
