Meet Dr. Isabelle Lesschaeve.
Hi and welcome,
I created Wine Tasting Demystified in 2012 and later on InnoVinum Academy to help wine lovers and wine businesses leverage the power of sensory science in their wine business and education programs.
Being born and raised in a French culture gave me multiple opportunities to learn about wine, but it doesn’t give me the required credentials to be your partner.
So here’s more.
- I have worked in the wine industry for over 30 years as a research professional and sensory consultant.
- I have taught wine sensory evaluation to graduate students at Brock University and other colleges.
- My applied research work appeared in over 50 peer-reviewed academic publications and several book chapters.
- I had the privilege to be a keynote speaker at major conferences including the International Cool Climate Wine Symposium and the Australian Wine Technical Conference.
- I serve the American Wine Society Educational Foundation as VP of scholarship to support the next generation of North American wine professionals.
