About Me
Welcome to Wino on a Budget—a space for wine lovers who appreciate great wines without breaking the bank! I'm Chelsey, the voice behind the blog, and I’m here to make wine approachable, exciting, and budget-friendly.
My Wine Journey
My love for wine started in Washington State, a region known for its bold reds and crisp whites. Over the years, I’ve explored wineries across the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, always on the hunt for exceptional yet affordable bottles. In 2021, I made the move to Brisbane, Australia, and quickly fell in love with the country’s diverse wine regions, from the cool-climate vineyards of Tasmania to the high-altitude terroirs of the Granite Belt.
