There was No Good Life show on February 20 due to WSU basketball! 🙁
Here’s the info for February 27th…
My guest this week is Elizabeth Schneider to talk about her new book: “Wine for Normal People: A Guide for Real People Who Like Wine, but Not the Snobbery That Goes with It” and wine pairing in general.
There’s no better time for a glass of vino than now during COVID, but the wrong wine can lead to more whine than “whoa.” If you’re looking for sources on how to pair the best wine with a romantic meal, author, certified wine educator and Court of Master Sommelier-certified Elizabeth Schneider will give it to you straight.
In Wine for Normal People: A Guide for Real People Who Like Wine, but Not the Snobbery That Goes with It (Chronicle Books), Schneider gives real talk about wine without talking down to the audience and with a dash of humor to boot.
Schneider carries her knowledge, personality and wit over onto her Wine for Normal People podcast, which boasts 7 million unique downloads, placing it firmly in the top five percent of all podcasts produced in the United States.
“I was a normal wine person before I became a wine dork. I understand the struggles that people have with wine and why they don’t like it,” she explains. “Because of that, I can show them things that actually matter to them and that will shift their thinking to enjoy wine more.”
Elizabeth says: “After graduating from Wesleyan “University and starting my career in Boston, I quickly realized that my heart was more in my hobby than in my high tech job. Trips to the wine shopr often yielded awesomely poor (but hilarious) results, so my sister and I finally took a course at the Boston Center for Adult Eduction to learn how to taste and appreciate wine. And that kicked it all off.”
“A stint in St. John in the Caribbean to wait tables and just unwind for 8 months (yes, I quit my high-tech job, packed two bags, and hopped on a plane), was followed by a great two years completing my MBA at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (where I met M.C. Ice, my podcast partner and husband) and since then my career has been solely about wine!” Follow Elizabeth on Facebook and Twitter
Later in the program, Ryan Frederickson founder of ArT wine Preservation system joins us to talk about this novel way to preserve your open bottle of wine. ArT Wine Preserver® founder and Purdue University graduate Ryan Frederickson worked as an engineer until a vacation to wine country sent him in a different direction.
ArT Wine Preserver® is the easiest way to keep wine fresh. This simple wine saver uses pure argon gas to displace oxygen. Argon is the preferred method to prevent oxidation in wine.
