Kathleen's story of how she came into the wine business as a wine lover, managed to turn around two businesses and make some amazing wines in just a few years is nothing short of inspirational.

I had the absolute pleasure to attend the keynote presentation of Kathleen during a wine masterclass in Ghent (Belgium). And it must be said, Kathleen is a wine speaker of the highest caliber. Her knowledge, passion and ability to engage with the audience leaves a permanent mark on you. The stories of her own experiences at Château de Minière let you understand the wine making process and the dedication that goes into creating each bottle. Through Kathleen, the world of wine comes alive!
