About this episode

Maryse Chevriere — creator of Freshcutgardenhose/FCGH Studio and author of How to Sound Wine Smart — Forrest Kelly digs into the leap from a green, untrained hire at a wine bar to published wine author. Maryse shares how enthusiasm beat experience when she got hired, why she traded New York for San Francisco and easier access to wine country, and the Napa memory that still surprises her (an aromatic Grignolino she never expected to find there).
