S3E2 Shift Drink: Michele Thomas on Writing Wine & Working Retail

Michele Thomas is a writer, sommelier and the manager and buyer at a neighborhood wine shop in Brooklyn. RT and Michele are old friends from RT's wine rep days. They get together to dish about the purpose of tasting notes, the art of wine writing, and how to welcome new drinkers into the world of wine. Also: pairing Italian wine with jerk chicken, wine as a second or third act career, Cynar and tonic with a lime as the perfect "shift drink" after a day of retail hospitality. In a special segment, Michele reads an excerpt of her creative memoir essay, "Under Construction," bringing together her memories of growing up in East New York and working at the International Culinary Center. Hear Michele read the whole essay in a subscriber-only bonus episode, coming soon to www.patreon.com/mododibere. Recording this episode together helped RT and Michele remember how much they love talking about drinks and language. RT has since launched Modo di Bere Magazine with Michele as the editor! Modo di Bere Magazine is also the home of Michele's new monthly column, Bed Stuy Somm. The magazine is currently published as a newsletter.
