Bethany HarpurBethany Harpur is an Ottawa-based freelance writer, sommelier and artist. Her love affair with wine began in 2001 at the Ottawa Wine and Food Show, where she discovered Canadian wines that actually tasted great. Since then, she has become a vocal advocate for wines made (not just “cellared”!) in Canada, particularly from the regions of Prince Edward County and Niagara. A graduate of the Algonquin College Sommelier program (2009) and Carleton University’s School of Journalism (1999), Bethany shares her passion for wine with others in the winosphere through her blog, Second Ferment (www.2ndferment.blogspot.com), WineAlign (www.winealign.com) and Brix Magazine (slated for launch in November 2009).
