Bio
Christine Marsiglio MW MSc
Lindsay was a very focussed and driven member of the Decanter team and if there was anything that ever needed to be done Lindsay was on top of it, even without asking her to do so. She's hyper organised and has a knack for making wine more accessible to everyone, even those who perhaps know quite a bit already. Her knowledge and passion for wine and food was evident from day 1 and to this day we miss having her here as not only is she a fantastic team player but she also is a really lovely person.

Lindsay is an outstanding talent and a gifted sommelier with an excellent knowledge of wine, beer and sprits and a passion for the industry. It's always a lovely thing to be around someone who enjoys their work and both customers and staff alike can feel that with her.
