Robin works an independent wine consultant, wine judge, educator, tour guide and writer. Following studies in French and English literature in the U.S., she changed career paths in 1998 when she left her teaching position at the Université de Nice to study wine in the Rhône Valley at the Université du Vin. She then worked as a wine specialist at Christie’s auction house in Beverly Hills, California for numerous years before returning to Europe. After 10 years of working as a marketing manager and a fine wine buyer in London, she moved to Lugano, Switzerland in 2013 and became a Master of Wine in 2014. An adventurer at heart, one of her greatest passions is inspiring others about wine and culture and is a fervent fan of Sherry and Andalusia.
