Mel

Hi, I’m Mel!

I’m a wine writer for people who want to know more about what’s in their wine glass.

Through my tantalizing wine descriptions and illuminating articles on wine varieties, styles, and regions, I’m here to inspire your curiosity and entice you to shake up your usual wine selections—without all the standard jargon and snobbery.

Being half French, I spent most summers in France growing up, where wine at every meal is the norm, so wine has always been part of my life. I started seriously learning about wine in 2012, became a certified sommelier in 2017, and in between launched Wining with Mel in 2015 to share my passion with other wine lovers.

When I’m not writing about or drinking tasting wines, you can find me translating French texts or reading. If it’s winter, you’ll probably find me on a sailboat in the Caribbean (seriously!).
