Lindsay is also a qualified tutor with the Wine & Spirit Education Trust where she lectures at all levels including Diploma. She also lectures for the Food & Wine Academy as well as judging for the prestigious International Wine & Spirit Competition.
Her interest in wine has taken Lindsay all over France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria and South Africa.
