I love my job. Many people who work in wine… do.
But I also do… spend a LOT of time answering questions and talking about wine. Anyone who knows me well… is aware that I can talk quite a bit so this works out perfectly. Many questions, from newbies to veteran wine lovers, have been asked throughout the years.
Below is my list of the ‘Top Ten Questions About Wine Country’. These include questions I am asked on a fairly regular basis. Year in and year out.
Social Media is a conversation, not a statement and people who love wine… also love to talk about the wines they have enjoyed. What better platform for questions and answers than in a group with fellow wine fans?!?
Each week I host LIVE programs on Twitter with one featuring Sonoma County wine and food and the other Napa Valley wine. Join us each week and add to the question database with your own inquiries.
Wednesday Nights from 6-7pmPST @SonomaChat
Mondays from 6-7pmPST @NapaChats
