Treve Ring is a wine journalist, editor, international judge, consultant, educator and certified sommelier based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
After completing her Art History degree with Distinction from the University of Victoria and being exposed to the world of wine business at Christie’s in London, England, she switched gears, leaving the realm of art for the world of wine. She is the national managing editor and a national judge at WineAlign, executive editor at Gismondi On Wine, contributing editor for MONTECRISTO Magazine, DRINK editor for EAT Magazine, BC regional editor and senior travel correspondent for SIP Northwest Magazine, wine editor for Scout Magazine, senior columnist for CIDERCRAFT Magazine and co-founder of Cru Consultancy. Treve also is a committee member and key judge for the Vancouver International Wine Festival and a contributor and restaurant awards judge for Vancouver Magazine.
She received her Sommelier Diploma from the International Sommelier Guild, and Diploma from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust. Along the way she became a French Wine Scholar through the French Wine Academy, a certified Sherry Educator through the Sherry Academy in Jerez, a Wine Location Specialist (Champagne and Port) with the Center of Wine Origins, and is completing certification with the Society of Wine Educators.
Treve is a contributing author for the award-winning book, “Island Wineries of British Columbia“, published in 2011 (revised 2013) and one of the consulting contributors to Maclean’s Wine In Canada annual (2013).
She is currently working her way through visiting every wine growing region worldwide – a seemingly (and fortuitously) endless goal.
