I think a drink can be a profound experience precisely because it tells a story, and people love stories. We use narratives to understand our world and each other and when a drink's story is woven into that narrative, it becomes a centerpiece that anchors the intangible experience into our senses for one fleeting moment. My deepest passion is for food and beverage, especially beer, whisky, wine and their possible pairings. Professionally, I am an artificial intelligence researcher forging my way into a new career in fine consumables. I am on track to finish my WSET Spirits level 2, WSET Wine level 3, and Certified Cicerone certifications in 2019. My other interests include history, literature, fine watches, and horror movies.
