We are very proud to announce that AWE member Erica Dent of Enjoy Discovering Wine has won the Riedel Trophy for WSET Educator of the Year 2013. Erica is an ex-employee of WSET until she moved to the south coast and became an independent, freelance wine educator, set up her wine school and joined AWE. She has been busy successfully teaching consumers and the trade of the south east ever since and her award is justly deserved.

The Award for ‘individuals and companies who have made a significant contribution to WSET courses and qualifications in the past year, and who have achieved superlative results in WSET programs, whilst demonstrating commitment and innovation in education.’ was presented to Erica by John Hinkley of Riedel and Jancis Robinson, OBE MW at the WSET Graduation Evening in January.
