Meet Pamela Sanderson...Pamela grew up on Vancouver Island and fell in love with food and beverage working for top quality restaurants and wine retailers. Her enthusiasm for BC product led her to working in the Okanagan Valley for Sumac Ridge Estate Winery.
After receiving her Sommelier Certification she returned to Victoria to work as Dining Room Manager for the Fairmont Empress. From there she moved onto a new business, Cascadia Liquor. Her driving force has always been a passion for product and the producers and a desire to share her passion with others. Pamela taught for the International Sommelier Guild and has always made time to present seminars at Taste, Victoria Festival of Food and Wine, Victoria Wine Festival, and the Comox Valley Economic Development Conference. After receiving her Sommelier Certification, she continued her studies, completing the French Wine Scholar, Sherry Educator, and Certified Beer Server with the Cicerone organization. |
