Join me, Karen Medina, your host of the Super SMART Women Podcast, for a fascinating conversation with Kristi Mayfield—founder and CEO of WineWise, certified sommelier and a teacher at heart. Drawing on her extensive background in international sales and leadership, Kristi shares how her curiosity for wine blossomed into a dynamic education platform and an education podcast, Everyday Sommelier, that takes the fear and pretension out of selecting, tasting and truly enjoying wine.
Listen as Kristi explains why understanding what you don’t like is just as important as knowing what you do like, and how the same wine variety can taste dramatically different depending on where and how it’s grown. Whether you’re a young professional ordering wine for clients, a server hoping to enhance your expertise, or simply an enthusiast eager to broaden your horizons, Kristi’s mission is to make wine approachable, fun and memorable.
Tune in to discover how Kristi, a teacher at hear, helps you level up your wine game. As a Super SMART Woman, she helps you find your own path to wine confidence. If you’re ready to boost your wine knowledge, transform your tasting experiences, and enrich your connections—both in business and life—this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
