JULIA SCAVO ( 3rd Best Sommelier of Europe & Master of Port 2017) 
Studying in her native Craiova, Romania, Julia Scavo easily conquered a Bilingual Baccalaureate in English Mathematics and Physics. While this does not sound like the starting point of a sommelier’s journey, Julia would soon discover the world that awaited her as she moved to France to study engineering and mathematics. Being the restless intellectual she is, spending idle time in the same place every weekend was nearly impossible…and in Lyon, France, of all places! It was only a matter of time before she was planted deep into the French terroir herself.
