Written by wine lovers!
Hello! I am the site Author, Debra-Jayne Kimlin. I live (mostly in Melbourne, Australia), hold a Bachelor of Wine Marketing from the University of Adelaide and love to share new findings about wine, wine tourism and wine events. After completing my degree in 2004, I set off to travel Europe, visiting its vineyards on a kind of sabbatical. It was at this time that CD2D was born - before the era of blogging - as a website to record and share my pictures and experiences. After a brief stint in Shanghai (2007) where I helped set up a wine education outfit, and taught wine appreciation, I expanded my site to include pages with subjects covering how wine is produced, and how to enjoy wine for those who would like to learn more by themselves. Finally, after lecturing in wine marketing at Národní vinařské centrum (National Wine Centre) in the Czech Republic (2008 & 9), the idea to use the site to support small-medium wineries with opportunity for premium targetted advertising and promotions came into the picture. These days, I work in wine retail - where I love sharing my wine knowledge, experiences and recommendations with consumers. This site has now become a resource for them to refer to. ContributionsContributions from other authors are always welcome, and noted as such on the pages and in meta tags.
