@Telesomm Pro-Tips: Q&A with Vanessa Raymond

We test out a few of the questions we'll be asking the Telesomm sommeliers on this season of #InVinoFab pod

Show Notes

We're going to be asking a whole lot of questions about wines for the Telesomm sommeliers on season 5 of the pod, so we thought we'd try out a few on the Telesomm app founder, Vanessa Raymond. Turns out -- she's learned a lot working with the community of somms on her app.  Here are the questions we tried out and what we learned from this Q&A round.

Questions:

1. What food and wine pairings are you really hyped about now?
2. If you were to pair wine with music what would you pair?
3. What's your epic fail food & wine pairing story?
4. Tell us about the last time a wine took you on a sensory journey
5. Using an emoji, what describes your approach to learning wine?
6. When you're tasting a wine, how do you taste it? What's your process?

Answers:

• Favorite food and wine pairing: pulled moose & Chenin Blanc bubbles. Wondering how to make pulled moose?
• Wondering what that is and where you can get some of your own? 
• Ella Fitzgerald with Chardonnay
• National Chardonnay Day (May 21). More information on international wine days.
• Looking for some dried fish for your own epic food pairing, or make dried fish yourself! 
• Carricante Italian Wine
• Trying out Hungarian and Bulgarian wine
• Emoji for Wine Tasting: 🕵
• Imagine the color of the wine you are tasting -- before you jump to a specific fruit, taste, etc.
• Vivino app -- track the wine you're tasting
