Antonia QuastWine Educator and Founder of Wine-Q's

Do the words "irresistible, fabulous and unforgettable" describe an experience that all of us are fond of?I believe that the moment we uncork a bottle of wine and see, smell and taste it...you know what I am talking about.With my Italian heritage, wine is more than a passion, it is a tradition.In this lifestyle of wine, we never needed a significant occasion to uncork a bottle of wine or champagne, but the moment we did, it became a special one.

I have had the good fortune of meeting Antonia who has, in our friendship, shared her many worldly experiences and expertise in the world of wine.
