Sophia is an awarded wine communicator, writer and wine judge. Her work can be found in The Guardian, Condé Nast Traveller and Telegraph Travel, as well as numerous wine trade publications, and she regularly shares her wine tales on Instagram at @skinandpulp.
Whilst studying for her Creative Writing and English degree, Sophia worked a harvest in Beaujolais, picking grapes to pay for a holiday in France, having no idea that these two worlds would eventually cross. After a career that involved teaching, TV production, hospitality and writing, Sophia was drawn towards the world of wine and completed her WSET 3 certificate, alongside working in a wine bar and hosting wine tasting events.
Sophia has presented and talked about wine at the Ideal Home Show, the National Geographic Traveller Food Festival and the London Wine Fair, and has been an official ambassador for leading drinks industry events, Wine Paris and Imbibe Live. She was named as one of Drinks Retailing’s 100 Most Influential People in Drinks and won the inaugural IWSC Emerging Talent in Wine Communication Award.
