About Maggie
“Wine is unlike any other beverage to me. To learn about it means studying history, geography, science, and legend. To taste it involves all the senses. To enjoy it with others is the finest camaraderie.”
This sums up Maggie’s views on wine. She holds the Certified Specialist of Wine credential from the Society of Wine Educators, a French Wine Scholar post-nominal from The French Wine Society, and completed a year of study with The International Sommelier Guild. She is certified to teach the French Wine Scholar curriculum to the trade. Her newest role is as Director of Education and Wine Consultant for
pH Wine Merchant, a new facility in Peachtree Hills in the heart of Buckhead. The beautiful classroom with state-of-the-art technology makes learning about wine a genuine pleasure.
“An important part of what I do is help people feel comfortable with wine. There’s been an unfortunate trend toward elitism surrounding what is meant to be a universal pleasure, a means to bring people together. And one of the best things about wine tasting is that it’s so subjective. There are no wrong answers to what you’re sensing from the glass. What could be more diplomatic than that?”
