Cristina’s journey into the world of wine was not a conventional one. As a former lawyer, she practiced law until 2015 before transitioning into wine education. Her passion for wine was sparked by a television program that ignited her curiosity about wine’s complexities, from aromas to fermentation techniques. Dissatisfied with the romanticized portrayal of wine in mainstream media, Cristina embarked on a serious study of wine, pursuing it as a hobby alongside her legal career.
Driven by a desire to explore, learn, and share her knowledge, Cristina made a bold decision to follow her passion wholeheartedly. She became a sommelier and eventually decided to leave her legal profession to fully immerse herself in the world of wine. This transition was not just a career change but a life-changing decision fueled by determination and extensive study.
