Podcast appearances and mentions of tanisha townsend

In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Tanisha Townsend, the founder of Girl Meets Glass, a wine lifestyle and education agency, and woman whose honesty, humor, and intelligence I admire deeply. I made fried chicken and mashed potatoes, she brought a beautiful bottle of Blanc de Blancs, and we got to talking! Tanisha brought her wit and no-nonsense attitude to the conversation in a way that left reflecting for days on some of the gems she dropped like, like: “Are you actually ready for what you really want?” and “If someone watched your habits for a week, would they reflect the life you say you want?” We also explore how living alone has given Tanisha the space to envision, build, and expand her business. It's not that she couldn't have achieved everything she has otherwise, but having the freedom and space (mentally and emotionally) to pour fully into herself and her vision made all the difference. I'm always moved and inspired by women who stand tall in their truth, show up fully, own their choices, and walk boldly toward the life they deserve.

Do you have a bucket list? What's on your bucket list? Is it a list of things you want to acheive before you turn 50? Or a list of places you want to visit? Mine was a list of places I wanted to visit and at the top of that list was wine country in South Africa. Well guess what ladies and gentlemen, that dream came true!! Goal achieved, I visited Stellenbosch, South Africa this year and tasted the most amazing wines and met some of the kindest people! Speaking of kind people, the hospitality in South Africa is top notch! My first guest of this season will speak to that specifically as she is international Sales Marketing Manager of Kanonkop Wine Estate. From literally the second I met her, I was drawn to Deidre Taylor. I heard her laugh, then she smiled and I said, Who is that? I need to meet her. So I did and she is fantastic. A marketing dynamo she's been called in fact. Can have a conversation with anyone and lives to tell you about South Africa wine & wine culture, specifically Kanonop. Starting off our season with the warmest South African welcome and talking about the hospitality they are known for, here is Deidre Taylor. CREDITS: Thank you for listening to Wine School Dropout.

LICENSED TO TASTE is the learning segment of The Wine Hour. In this Episode, Tanisha Townsend makes us dream with her trips to South Africa and Italy, and talks about “La Rentrée” in the Wine Minute. SPECIAL GUEST BIO Stevie Kim Managing Director @ Vinitaly International Stevie Kim was born in Korea and raised in the United States. Today, she lives in Verona, Italy. At first she attended the NYU – Leonard N. Stern School of Business. After settling in Italy, she obtained an MBA at Bocconi University, School of Economics and Management. Later, she achieved a postgraduate specialization in Wealth Management at the University of Pennsylvania – The Wharton School. Stevie is currently working on her WSET Diploma, from the Weinakademie Österreich in Rust, Austria. As Managing Director of Vinitaly International, Stevie has launched and now coordinates a series of new initiatives connected to the Vinitaly brand. As Professional Wine Groupie, Stevie is always seeking innovative ways to communicate Italian wine – with a strong creative emphasis on social media and educational platforms. In 2017, Stevie produced the Italian Wine Podcast, the first podcast in English dedicated exclusively to Italian wine and its personalities. In June 2022 the show reached three million listens and officially hit the 1000 episode mark; the show now airs 7 days a week, 365 days a year and features some of the best known voices in the international wine community. Along with books, maps, and videos, the Italian Wine Podcast is part of the “Mamma Jumbo Shrimp” project, an umbrella brand conceived during the COVID lockdown of 2020. The brand represents an ethos, taking big concepts and making them accessible in smaller bites. It also strives to harness emerging social media platforms and bring together a global community of wine enthusiasts. Every week, the Mamma Jumbo Shrimp YouTube channel airs Stevie's “On The Road Edition” travels to wineries and regions across Italy. Being a bit curious, a bit sociologist, and a bit digital geek, Stevie regularly creates new opportunities to engage the wine community and help wineries – even during the COVID-19 pandemic. She's currently a Clubhouse addict: if you are a wine lover or a wine professional, you would want to keep an eye on the two clubs she created on this new platform, Italian Wine and Wine Business.

I love a little something sweet after dinner. Like it doesn't quite feel complete if I just eat my entree or main course and that's it. And since this is kind of a boozy podcast, we're gonna end our meal with a digestif. Digestif is defined in Wikipedia as - A digestive is drink,alcoholic or not, which is usually taken at the end of a meal, and which is supposed to help digestion and invigorate at the end of a long meal. In today's episode we're finishing up the meal so to speak and talking about Digestif Culture. Meet Amy Pasquet of Cognac Pasquet and Allison Parc of Brenne Whisky which is made in Cognac. They'll talk language, developing a spirits brand and being a woman while doing it in another country.Special thanks to our guests Amy Pasquet @cognacpasquet and Allison Parc @allisonparc of @brennewhisky on IG.Thank you for listening to Wine School Dropout.

Us Americans over here have been having a really good time talking about the nuances of learning the French language, navigating culture differences and finding love and work. But, I think it's high time we added another layer to this season. In this episode I'm happy to introduce to you a French business owner with a very interesting concept aimed at Anglophones in Paris and an American restaurant owner with French parents and a deep passion and love for French wines. What are their views regarding French food & drink culture? What is it like to not even think about that because whatever you do, its ‘the French way' because you are? Take a listen and see how their thoughts line up with what you've been hearing about all season.Special thanks to our guests Estelle Hirren @Gourmet_Cinema and Yannick Benjamin @yannickbenjamin of restaurant @contentonyc on IG.Thank you for listening to Wine School Dropout.

When you first come to visit Paris, you run around the city trying to see all of the sites, take all of the photos and eat all of the croissants you possibly can. But those of us that have made France our home know that French dining culture is much more intentional. Inviting friends to your home, sitting around the table to laugh, talk, and drink a little wine perhaps. When was the last time you sat around the table, not in front of the tv or standing around grabbing snacks off a plate, with guests in your home and enjoyed a meal?Today's expat in Paris guests share their philosophy and thoughts on the French ‘À Table Culture' and being more intentional about our meals and making meal time a bit more, beautiful.

When I first got ‘into' wine, I thought the only career paths were winemaker, sommelier or like, wine retailer. Kind of limiting, yeah? Luckily for me, I learned really quickly that there are plenty of careers dealing with wine besides those. I've been in wine over a decade now and while I have worked retail, I knew that wasn't my life's path. Today's guest majored in food politics thought import/export would be her career path. But as luck would have it, she found her way into the wine industry by a chance meeting at a coffee shop in a small village in the Loire Valley. Don't let me spoil her story though, I'll let her tell it. Meet Kimberly Lecointre. Special thanks to our guest Kimberly.

Whenever I mention that I'm in the wine industry, a follow up question is usually, ‘do you want to make your own wine?' The answer for me is a resounding no! I totally respect what they do but that is just not my gift. But there are quite a few people that dream of being a winemaker, and then to live in France on top of that…that's kinda like the ultimate dream right? In this episode we'll hear from an American woman who is doing just that. She exchanged her life and comfort in the States live amongst the vineyards of France, eventually making her very own cuvée. Some parts of the life are a dream, but as with anything, there are challenges as well. I'm so excited to introduce you to Carrie-Anne Sumner.Special thanks to our guest Carrie Anne.

SPECIAL GUEST BIO “Only one lyric tenor on the scene today has the honeyed tone and ingratiating style to make comparisons to Pavarotti and Gigli seem serious, and it is Calleja, the man from Malta, who is now maturing into an artist of the first rank.” – New Yorker Blessed with a golden-age voice that routinely inspires comparisons to “legendary singers from earlier eras: Jussi Björling, Beniamino Gigli, even Enrico Caruso” (Associated Press), Maltese-born Joseph Calleja has quickly become one of the most acclaimed and sought-after tenors today. His expansive discography and frequent appearances on the world's leading opera and concert stages prompted NPR to hail him as “arguably today's finest lyric tenor,” and led to his being voted Gramophone magazine's 2012 Artist of the Year. A Grammy-nominated recording artist for Decca Classics, he has released five solo albums for the label. Born in Malta in 1978, Joseph Calleja began singing at the age of 16, first in his church choir and then in formal training with Maltese tenor Paul Asciak. One of his native land's biggest celebrities, Calleja was selected to serve as Malta's first cultural ambassador in 2012, and he was named a brand ambassador for Air Malta. Calleja recently teamed up with Malta's Bank of Valletta to form the BOV Joseph Calleja Foundation, which will serve to help children and families in need. Calleja is the recipient of the 2014 International Opera Awards' Readers' Award. With a passion for Gastronomy, Joseph Calleja is also a wine lover and collector.

When people think about France and Paris in particular, their thoughts immediately go to croissants, and then wine. Maybe cheese, but definitely wine. We think of sitting outdoors at a cafe in those Parisian bistro chairs and swirling a glass of red wine while watching the people go by. Does that make us tourists? Do the French really drink and eat like we think they do? Let's ask the ONLY American in Paris, Comedianne Sarah Donnelly about some French drinking misconceptions, their drinking culture and her go-to wine pairing.Special thanks to our guest.

Apero or Aperitif hour is yes, a time to decompress after work but it's so much more and different than that. The time to drink, what the drinks are, it's so much more intentional and particular in French culture.

GENERAL INFORMATION Join the Wine Dream Team, Jaime Araujo, Tanisha Townsend, Akos Forzcek, and Ray Isle, along with the Host, Antoine Abou-Samra for The Wine Hour #17. We have the pleasure to welcome Egon Müller, Scharzhof, Germany. SPECIAL GUEST BIO Weingut Egon Müller, Scharzhof, is located just outside Wiltingen. The winery is located in the Mosel wine region, more specifically the Saar district. The winery's prized wines come from the vineyard Scharzhofberg. At present Egon IV, a former student of the University of Applied Sciences Geisenheim, is in the managing position. The Egon Müller dynasty is member of the First families of wine organisation. At the Scharzhof, Egon IV favours a traditionally minimalist approach to winemaking. His work continues to be based on the quality-driven philosophy of the late Egon Müller III.: "One hundred per cent of the quality of a wine is generated in the vineyard. It is impossible to reach even 101 per cent in the cellars but it is a great achievement to pack the full potential of the vines into a bottle". A descendant of a legendary wine making family, Egon Müller produces Germany's most acclaimed Rieslings. The combination of the fantastic Scharzhofberger terroir, the greatest Grand Cru in Germany, and Egon's genius as a winemaker, result in wines of incredible minerality, fruit, acidity and perfect balance. All Egon Müller's wines have great ageing potential, yet are delicious when consumed young PROGRAM Uncorked [4:55]: Jaime Araujo, Akos Forzcek and Ray Isle talk about cork and its importance in the wine world, from the consumer side to the producer side.

Within five minutes of hearing Marianna speak about her wines, the landscape, and her region of Gioia del Colle. I knew I wanted to talk to her more! Marianna was interesting, funny, lively and her wines made from the Primitvo and Negroamaro grapes, stunning! In this talk, Marianna shares her winemaking passion and the history of wines in Gioia del Colle with us. She also mentions a famous Hollywood neighbor.

Have you ever been sitting around with your friends, talking and laughing...maybe a little drinking, and you came up with this crazy idea? Whatever the idea was, one of you in the group thought it was nuts and you let it go. But what would happen if you actually did it? Three friends in southern Italy had the idea to make sparkling wines in Italy similar to Champagne. They didn't just talk about it though, they did it! Fast forward to now and we're talking with a daughter of the original three men as she tells us of her role in the business and what it's like to make sparkling wine in Italy. In this episode meet Anna D'Amico from D'Arapri Winery in Puglia, Italia. Credits: Thank you for listening to Wine School Dropout.

For this final episode of our summer mini season, we're finishing of with a wine region we love: Bordeaux. Jacques Lurton has created a line of wines to try and change that perception. Not new to the wine scene of Bordeaux by any means as he has Chateau la Louviere, Chateau Bonnet, and Chateau Couhins-Lurton under his purview just to name a few. His new line, Diane by Jacques Lurton aims to take some of the confusion and intimidation out of Bordeaux wines by creating this line of single varietal wines with the name of the grape on the bottle. But I don't want to spoil his story, we'll let him tell it. CREDITS:Thank you for listening to Wine School Dropout. This podcast was produced by Studio Ochenta. Hosted by Tanisha Townsend.
