The making (and drinking) of wine has been a serious private interest of Karen's for many years.  She decided to take this interest further by taking formal courses through WSET. Karen obtained my Diploma a few years ago. Her future plans include taking a further course to become a wine educator. Karen maintains her interest in wine by attending as many study tours as she can and continues to partake in local wine tasting classes. She is  a qualified accountant and have worked for many years as a Director of Finance within the NHS. Karen lives in Derbyshire with my husband and two teenage children (and very many bottles of wine!).
