Montes scholarship awarded to Bibendum employee
The Institute of Masters of Wine and Montes Winery have awarded Bibendum’s Jennifer Docherty the third annual Alfredo Vidaurre/Montes Winery Scholarship.
Open to candidates around the world at any stage of their MW studies, the scholarship consists of a US$10,000 travel bursary to visit Chile.
A native of Vancouver, Canada, and a former fashion designer, Docherty is a second-year student in the Institute’s education programme and works for Bibendum Wine.
She secured the scholarship with her 1,000-word essay addressing the topic of “How should Chilean wines be positioned over the next five years?” which took into account both commercial and environmental challenges.
Docherty follows in the footsteps of Mark Janes, who was the recipient of the 2008 scholarship.
