Advanced Sommeliers 'n Alvariño w/ Aubrey Terrazas
In this week's episode, I have a delightful conversation with our first wine expert and Advanced Sommelier Aubrey Terrazas, and drink a Portuguese Albariñho.
We talk about the sommelier profession; how male-dominated it is, how long it takes to get certified and the different levels of certification, how to go about making your own wine, competition and sexual harassment in the industry, if bad wine truly exists, identifying notes and flavors, how sustainable is the wine industry, and the Palette club; a monthly wine subscription service that uses AI to predict what wine you would love.
