Gwendolyn Osborn – Director of Wine

Gwendolyn holds an advanced certificate from the London-based Wine & Spirit Education Trust and expects to achieve the Diploma certification from the same organization later this year. Previously, she was the education coordinator for the Wine Spectator School, an online wine education program that teaches and promotes wine appreciation. She also worked extensively in the San Francisco area with Uncorked Events, teaching seminars in wine and helping to organize larger tastings. More recently, she opened and managed Wine.com’s Retail Outlet in Berkeley, CA

Her educational pursuits in wine have led her to travel extensively in wine regions, including France, Italy, Oregon, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, Australia and of course, California, meeting with top winemakers around the globe.

Her mantra? Everyone should feel free to enjoy wine without confusion or pretention. Gwendolyn’s passion is contagious, no matter what level wine drinker you are. Her style is easy-going, amusing, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
