How Did I Get Here? The Ah-ha Moments that Led me to Wine

As a wine educator hosting tastings, I often get asked “what got you into wine?”

I realized I hadn’t shared this story of my AH HA wine and lightbulb moment with my listeners yet and I thought whether a first time listener or loyal Sip Fan (I see you!), that you’d like to know what brought your gal, Nikki, to wine Country, which eventually led to this very podcast becoming a reality

So this week I’m Sharing:

  • My first intro into wine… at Pleasure Island???
  • The wine that shut me up (Literally)
  • Why I got banned from ordering the wine on the Disney Cruise
  • My first impression when visiting the Napa Valley
  • A tip for you if you have a passion bubbling under the surface

Splurge on this weeks Sip Spotlights available on my partner website:

The Ah-Ha wine:

Antinori Tignanello

Another super rare WOW wine for me:

Montes Purple Angel
