Manage episode 416942460 series 3567631
We open a bottle of intrigue when Kristie Tacey, the biotech professional turned winemaking wizard behind Tessier Wines, pulls up a chair at our podcast table. Her story, a blend of science, art, and sheer tenacity, pours out as we explore the vine-laden path that led her to carve out a niche in the world of boutique wines. Kristie's candid revelations about the hurdles she's overcome, from the initial spark at a winery visit to juggling her own label while working for others, are not just her personal tasting notes on life but a robust guide for anyone fermenting their own dream.
Venturing into the vineyards, we unravel the intricate dance of sourcing grapes and the deep connections with the earth and people that bring a bottle to life. Kristie leads us through this ritual, sharing her transition from the familiar terroir of the Russian River Valley to the bold frontiers of the El Dorado and Santa Cruz Mountains. We then uncork the process behind Tessier's standout wine labels, where each design is a toast to the essence captured within the glass, marrying the precision of Kristie's scientific background with the flourish of her artistic touch.
Our conversation takes a rhythmic turn as we explore the symphony of senses that is pairing wine with the perfect playlist. Kristie tunes us into the harmonious practice of matching her wines with melodies, a process that goes beyond the palate to an immersive sensory experience including her curated Spotify playlists. As we anticipate the upcoming wine release event, which promises to be a confluence of delectable bites, soulful tracks, and, of course, exceptional wines, we raise our glasses to the melody of winemaking – where every sip is a note and every bottle tells a story.
