Cuisine & Wine Asia’s contributing wine editor Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW moved from the United States to London, United Kingdom, as a playwright but, in a twist of fate, part-time work in a wine bar led to a career in the wine trade. In 2002 she relocated to Tokyo, Japan where she worked as a wine buyer but has since settled in Singapore. In September 2008, she achieved the prestigious Master of Wine qualification with a special award for outstanding performance.
