About The Experts
Great Grog
Great Grog is a friendly, independent wine merchant based in Edinburgh, known as much for its personality as its cellar. Rather than treating wine as something intimidating, the team’s approach is all about making it approachable and fun. No prior wine knowledge is ever assumed; guests are simply invited to show up, work their way through a hand-picked selection of themed pours and leave with real, usable knowledge and a smile on their face. It offers wine education that is expert-led, sociable, and built around the idea that learning about wine should be as enjoyable as drinking it.

With more than 20 years of experience in fine cheese and wine, she has dedicated her career to helping people discover exceptional cheeses and enjoy them with greater confidence and pleasure.
Her journey began in New York City, where she trained and worked at the renowned Murray’s Cheese before continuing her studies in France and the UK. Today, The Cheese Lady offers over 100 carefully selected cheeses from artisan producers across Britain and Europe through its shops in Haddington and North Berwick, as well as nationwide delivery across the UK.
