Swirlab

I’ve always enjoyed drinking wine but never knew much about it—until my best friend casually invited me to a wine class. What started as a winter distraction became a transformative journey. I’m a psychology professor studying wine—not as a winemaker or industry insider, but as someone still peeking behind the curtain. Swirlab is my ongoing exploration of wine psychology, education, and culture—rethinking how we teach, talk about, and learn wine. As I learn, I share—because wine should be fun, not intimidating.
