Modo di Bere: Wine & Language6 Des 2025

EN S4E12 Cheryl Kingan, Student of Liquids

When she's not playing the baritone sax, Cheryl Kingan sells wine in New York City. She previously worked in specialty coffee for many years. Cheryl's interest in drinks is not only culinary: this passion has naturally led her to advocate for sustainable agriculture and community development. She loves educating her clients and the public about indigenous grape varieties from Greece, Eastern Europe, Italy and Slovenia. Cheryl and Rose Thomas talk about the life of a "student of liquids," a term coined by the bartender who inspired RT's journey into drinks: the natural synergy between baristas and bartenders, the adventure of visiting vineyards and coffee farms around the world, tips for getting started tasting wine or coffee, and the potential of tasting notes to be internationally delightful.

Note from Rose Thomas: Cheryl and I are friends and she plays in a band with my husband. We are both certified sommeliers through the Sommelier Society of America, where we also both work as educators. sommeliersocietyofamerica.org Listen to Cheryl play music with the bands below! thesceneisnow.bandcamp.com/music (featured in the episode) tierslafamilia.bandcamp.com 75dollarbill.bandcamp.com
