Christina Pickard

DAY ONE

Christina has been telling wine stories for over 15 years, first from her former home in London, England, then from her second former home in Perth, Australia, and now in her current home in New York’s Hudson Valley. Christina has been covering the wines of New Zealand and Australia in her role as a Writer-at-Large for Wine Enthusiast magazine for the past 8 years. (Additionally, she now covers wines from New York and England for the publication). When she’s not tasting and reviewing over 1000 wines per year, Christina contributes to other publications including Bon Appetit, Full Pour and SevenFifty Daily, and has, at one time or another, penned words for most of the major trade and consumer wine publications in the U.S., Britain and Australia. As a presenter and educator, Christina was the co-host of one of wine’s first podcasts, The Crush. She was, at one stage, a semi-regular television and live presenter in the UK, and the founder of School of Wine in Western Australia. Christina’s work and family connections to both New Zealand and Australia bring her to this part of the world often and she feels a special connection to both cultures and people.
