INTRODUCTION POST/ MEET THE WINE CHIC
Hey everyone, my name is Jean and I love wine! I am a wine and drink writer.
I did not get to do an introduction post because I really wanted people to know what I do. I wanted to show them via photos. I hope it's not too late. I am a wine and drink blogger from Nairobi Kenya.
Why wine?
I have always been in love with wine since I was in school and I had wine journals. I would taste wine and write about it in a journal but I decided to start writing about it on a blog. In 2013, my blog was just like my online journal. It was just a hobby and I blogged for my own memories. However, after some time, people started reading my wine stories and The Wine and Food Review was born. www.thewineandfoodreview.com is my blog.
I am a wine & drink blogger from Kenya and although we are not a wine producing country, the consumption is growing. Kenyans drink beer and whisk(e)y more and I took it upon myself to sensitize people. From teaching, basics like how to taste wine, buy wine etc.
I look forward to interacting with you all.
Let's look at all my wine moments.
This was at a wine trade event in Nairobi Kenya. This was my 3rd glass of rose.
I was clearly enjoying this glass of Shiraz
I am always eating too. I was reviewing a seafood restaurant and checking out their wine list.
I was doing a restaurant review and chef's feature of Fairmont the Norfolk Nairobi
This was my first bloggers reporting trip. I got to go to Stellenbosch and drink wine all week!
I got to attend a Cape Wine event which is a global showcase of South African Wine. It was my first time to travel to South Africa.
Having a Pinotage moment!
I finally got to visit Boshendal wine and drink wine while having the view of their amazing organic garden behind me.
This was just a chill winetasting in my city.
This day I was feeling myself. I was at Steenberg Vineyards sipping some bubbly after a long day of biking and walking in vineyards.
I got to know how South Africans "braai", then I drank copious amounts of wine. We were 12 global wine bloggers coming under a week of wine. It felt good to be among the chosen 12. To know more about this blogger's trip search #CAPEable on social media.
Now. There is nothing like taking a wine estate tour on a segway.

Hey there sister! I know nothing about wine and I'm looking forward to learn a few things for you. I hope you enjoy your stay here on steemit.
Thankyou @ajremy I look forward to teaching you more! Thanks for the welcome.
Wonderful blogging as always. You did an awesome job here. Beautiful pictures. Which camera do you use to take all these stunning images?
Thankyou so much. I take photos (and videos too) with the Canon G7X and I have a photographer who uses Canon Rebel t5i
Canon Rebel t5i is a good camera, even though the two is not a full frame camera but their production is out of this world. I like it.
Yes I like it too. Great for beginners and it does the basic work.
I bet
I'm more of a beer or vodka drinker myself, but it sure does sound like fun to go places and try all the different wines. I look forward to reading your food/wine reviews. I bet @jaynie would really like this post, I'm pretty sure she kind of a "wine chic" too!
Pleasure is mine
