Holly Shaw, DWS grew up in San Diego and moved to New York  when she was 18. While she’s always had a keen sense of good wine, she started studying for the WSET when her third and youngest child was born to prove to herself that her brain was still capable of absorbing adult level material! One class led to another and now she holds the top WSET certification. Along the way, Holly created her blog, “Wine Not Whine,” a parody on parenting and wine, with a tongue-in-cheek sort of wit that surprisingly found success among parents and “regular” wine drinkers alike. Holly now maintains her blog, writes for various publications, and is a wine consultant. She is also a mom to three absolutely perfect, angelic children who never eat sugar.

Holly Shaw, DipWSET holds a diploma in wine and Spirits from WSET (Wine Spirits Education Trust), the leading wine educator worldwide. Holly is a wine educator teaching levels 1, 2, and 3 WSET classes.
