Public Speaking and Customized Tastings
I enjoy speaking to a wide variety of groups, from wine pros to newbies. I've even trained non-alcohol imbibing restaurant staff on the basics of simply smelling to learn how to sell wine. Whatever the crowd or the topic, let's have fun with wine!
Wine Writing and WINE Assessment
I love writing colorful articles on and reviews for wine. I also write about wine pairings and wine list picks - all parts of living the lifestyle of wine! On a more serious note, I have written many technical pieces on various aspects of the wine industry, too.
Wine List and Cellar Development
It's as fun to to talk about and taste delicious wines as it is to curate collections for others to enjoy. Whatever the palate or the occasion - professional or personal, I can find the magic to light up your taste buds.

"Having had the opportunity to work with Christy Canterbury MW to help infuse the Kendall-Jackson brand with approachable yet sophisticated, educational articles has been an absolute pleasure. Christy doesn't just bring her diverse writing skillset to an assignment, she offers her expertise and passion for the subject, which helps to elevate the piece in a way that not only satisfies our needs from a digital marketing perspective, but more importantly, from the perspective of the reader. I would highly recommend working with Christy on any writing project as she is sure to make it a piece that will leave a lasting impact on anyone that reads it. She is a master at her crafts and it's an added bonus that she's also a fantastic partner to work with."

“We have worked with Christy for a number of years now. Christy provides an entertaining and accessible approach to wine tasting, the perfect tone for our VIP events that attract an audience with a varied interest and knowledge in wine. Christy is a much sought-after host, and has been requested by our clients on a number of occasions. We’re in very safe hands with Christy.”

“Christy was the perfect choice for leading the virtual wine tasting/educational event for a fundraiser that we conducted for a non-profit organization that supports cancer research and the needs of cancer patients. Participants purchased their own wines in advance and settled into a 90-minute wine tasting including a competitive auction for wines donated from participants’ cellars. Christy did a wonderful job engaging, enlightening, and educating everyone while continuing to keep everyone entertained with various facts about the wines and stories about the winemaker. Throughout the evening, I was continually receiving private messages about how people were amazed with Christy's knowledge and they appreciated her warm, friendly approach to sharing that knowledge. In addition to the wine tasting, Christy really made the auction a lot of fun by both sharing some info regarding the wines, winemakers, and growing regions as well as continuing to encourage the friendly competition between the bidders.”
