Ep 464: Victoria Daskal, Mummy Wine Club, MW Student Series, 2/4

We continue the series in the company of Victoria Daskal. A wine writer, educator, and judge with over 14 years of experience, Victoria was most recently the Managing Editor of The World of Fine Wine magazine for six years, and is currently a stage two candidate for the prestigious Masters of Wine. ​In 2018, as a young mother herself, she founded Mummy Wine Club - a successful West London wine tastings company, which evolved into a UK wine subscription club in 2020.  Which has since been shortlisted for wine subscription club of the year by Decanter. This episode was recorded in person at the wonderful Albertine wine bar in Shepherd’s Bush, so you’ll notice some gentle London background noise. The Albertine has since closed in this location, but do keep an eye out for their soon to be revealed new spot.
