Who I Am
Author, editor, photojournalist, certified travel advisor
My name is Kevin Day and I have been reporting on wine for 12 years. My focus has long been on Italy, a world unto itself, but I have also traveled extensively in France, Spain, Germany and Austria. I write all of the content and shoot most of the photography. I also advise personal clients on everything building the right mix of wines in their private collection to creating tailored wine-travel itineraries which I can book as a Fora Travel Advisor.
I look forward to welcoming you personally as a member of Opening a Bottle.
