Robert Haynes-Peterson is a New York-based writer covering wines, spirits and luxury lifestyle for a variety of websites and publications. “Although I have been covering the wine world for some time, I find I forget easily as much as I’ve learned. I’m excited to take the WSET Level 2 not only for its formal structure and attempt to bring an objective education to a very subjective field, but also for the chance to learn from my fellow classmates, wine professionals all.” You can follow him on Twitter at @roberthp, on Instagram at @haynespeterson, or follow his articles at AskMen.com
