Kerry chases stories about people through wine, food and farms. She writes for regional and national publications in Portland, Oregon including the Oregon Wine Press, Willamette Week, Edible Portland, The Oregonian, Portrait of Portland, NW Palate, Sommelier Journal and Tasting Panel Magazine.

Since bit by the wine bug, she has studied with the Wine & Spirit Education Trust and received the Robert Mondavi Fellowship to The Symposium for Professional Wine Writers at Meadwood Napa Valley in 2008. In addition to writing about wine, she dabbles in photography and has had shows at Vino Paradiso Wine Bar in the Pearl, Urban Wine Works, Ecotrust/Jean Vollum Natural Capital Center and on tour with the Oregon State University Art about Agriculture Exhibit.

When she’s not regaling the fine food and wine culture of the Pacific Northwest, she savors running the trails of Forest Park and discovering the Zen of bocce on the Park Blocks.
