Welcome to my Webspace
I am Ravi K Joshi a.k.a. Colonel Joe- a Beverages Writer and Consultant
Let me Introduce myself
My Background
I am often referred-to as a guy who successfully turned his passion into profession. Also known by my moniker Colonel Joe due to my Army lineage, I am now a full-time Beverages Writer and Consultant. based in New Delhi, India.
My plunge into the world of beverages started on a rather celebratory note- by winning a Champagne Scholarship.
The journey thereafter has been nothing short of a dream- be it working with French winemakers to learn about wine, travelling to global wine heartlands to get a first hand feel of different terroirs, or sharing my passion through my writings and consumer events. I do not have a figment of doubt about where I belong.
Today my work involves multiple roles- as a wine writer and reporter, as a consultant providing services on the B2B/ B2C front and as a judge/presenter at marquee beverage engagements.

Connecting with Young Minds
It was humbling to share my journey of entrepreneurship from being an Army Officer to a Beverages Professional with the Commerce students of Delhi University's Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Khalsa College. Young generations are the torchbearers of the nation and it feels nice to be considered as a role model for them.
