LiveMeet Scott.
I’ve been exploring, teaching, and building in the world of wine since 2004. From historic estates to emerging innovators, I’ve worked across the industry — and created Vinlio to support the people who power it.
WinePerson is where I share what I’ve learned with real wine drinkers who want practical answers, not pretension.
Through Vinlio, I help wineries and beverage businesses build smarter digital experiences. It keeps me close to the industry — so the tools here stay grounded in reality.
