Thru The Grapewine

Have you ever heard a tale so captivating it lingers with you long after the story's end? We've got one such narrative in our latest Through the Grapevine episode, where Sedale McCall, a Virginia native and emerging wine virtuoso, paints us a picture of his personal odyssey from psychology and strategic communications into the heart of the wine industry. His approach to storytelling in the realm of wines and his anticipation for the WSET Level 3 examination are not just discussed; they're experienced.
The episode is also a toast to the remarkable women fermenting change in the industry, with a nod to inspiring women like Tiquette Bramlett. We delve into the art of authentic networking, the impacts of writing that comes from the depths of the soul, and the sheer delight in sharing these tales that intertwine with the world of wine.
Yet, beneath the bouquet of achievements, there lies a pressing dialogue on diversity within the wine world. We scrutinize the real strides made toward inclusivity since the vows of 2020, challenging the industry to show tangible evidence of their commitments. And for a refreshing palate cleanser, we revel in the thrill of introducing connoisseurs to exotic varietals, like Indian sparkling wines, broadening horizons one sip at a time.
