Did you start buying wine online as a result of COVID-19, and now stuck in a "wine rut" of regularly ordering the same labels over and over? Sarah Tracey offers five tips that empower you to explore outside your wine comfort zone. The key is learning what type of wines you like, and if you know what flavors of ice cream you like, then you can figure out wine just as easily. Sarah gives you the buzzwords and descriptors you need to explain yourself to a sommelier or retailer. She also gives you homework assignments that you'll like a lot more than calculus! If you listen all the way through, you'll find out why understanding tannin is like kissing a cat. Sarah Tracey is a wine, food, and lifestyle expert based in New York City. A certified sommelier, she worked her way up from spit-bucket emptier at a local winery to Michelin-starred Wine Director in top NYC restaurants. With a passion for education, she’s taught over 300 wine classes to date and is known for her warm and relatable style. When she’s not vineyard-hopping, Sarah is the resident wine expert at Martha Stewart Living online and is also known for her blog, The Lush Life (https://www.thelushlife.xyz/). She regularly shares food pairing, home entertaining, and beverage expertise with ‘O’ The Oprah Magazine, People, Food & Wine, Forbes, The Food Network, Elle, Refinery 29, Life & Style Weekly, Town & Country, Cosmopolitan, PureWow, Brides, and Cheddar TV. Her idea of self-care is a solo Beyoncé dance party with a glass of rosé Champagne.
