Kate Dingwall

Hi!

By day, I'm a seasoned writer and photographer
covering the intersection between spirits, wine, business, culture and travel. By night I'm a working sommelier.

I've spent the last ten years weaving together tales of terroir, place, people, and culture. My work currently appears inWine Enthusiast, Forbes.com, Food & Wine, MAXIM, Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants, Liquor.com, SevenFifty Daily, The Toronto Star, Toronto Life, InsideHook, Elle, The Vintner Project and more.

I'm also seasoned in branded content writing—clients include Toronto Life, Chatelaine, Vogue, Fashion, and Maxim—and happy to provide a portfolio on request. I'm always open to pitches, new commissions, or friendly hellos (dog pictures welcome)

It’s okay, friend, us, too. Drinks industry pros—especially wine folks—have certainly been feeling the pressure. Sales have been declining, in part due to changing...
