Niagara College Teaching Winery Teaching assistant.
Winery and Viticulture program graduate, WSET3 with three vintages harvest experience.

Hello, I am Johann! I am a Retail Sales Representative for Andrew Peller Limited's The Wine Shop. My work focuses on promoting retail sales of VQA products from various Niagara Peninsula wineries. Working for Andrew Peller enlightened me with an introduction to formal wine education, detailing the wine-making process, different grape varieties, and concepts of terroir. Besides my experience in the industry, I decided to take it up to the next level with my current certification of Level 1 in Wines with the Wine & Spirits Education Trust. I am young and fairly new to the wine industry, and I look forward to receiving mentorship while completing higher levels of education from WSET.

Hi! 👋🏾

I'm Amanda, an aspiring Wine Maker from Toronto. After working a harvest season in Niagara, I am eager to get into making natural, low-intervention wine. Before my time in the winery, I worked as a freelance UX design consultant for the food & wine industry in Toronto, as well as a visual merchandising specialist for large retailers across North America.

I am a visual, hands-on, curious team player. I love working with people and vines.

I believe in simplicity, intention, and having fun!

I work for Lifford & Select Wine Spirits as a Logistic Coordinator and Studying WSET3. Wine, wine business, wine education, wine industry and anything about wine really inspire me to continue my passion and enjoy my wine journey to one day become an expert in this wonderful business.

Currently a general manager at a wine bar. I seek to further my knowledge of wine through passion and community. I’m currently undergoing my certified sommelier education at Som Factory.

I’m the owner and operator of Halifax Charcuterie. I am the first Black women owned charcuterie business in Nova Scotia, and I want to expand my offerings to include wine. Charcuterie and wine go hand and hand, and the more I read the more I discovered about different wines enhancing the tastes of the charcuterie items. I want to take that to the next level and professionally develop the skills necessary to properly educate my clients.

Interested in wine Making

i'm a licenced massage therapist looking for new horizons, wine is a big passion for me and getting close to select wines was a big revelation for me, i had the opportunity to be in a couple of events hosted by them and it just clicked on me, so now i'm looking for opportunities and education in wine!

My professional wine career has included working in a wine retail shop which included keeping track of stock, ordering wine & spirits, helping run tastings & events. On the somm side I worked in a few different restaurants; Revel which focused on new world wines, Bündok that had a focus on French and Canadian wine, and currently Loop Line which focuses on smaller producers.

When i travel i try to go to places with wine counties so i can study and know more about this industry. In October 2021 i was able to go to Okanagan valley with only goal to explore the region. It was life-changing
