Today's guest is Karen Ruocco. She has an incredible story, one that has taken many turns along the way until she discovered her passion for wine in her mid forties, left a lucrative career to pursue wine, became a sommelier and ultimately opened her own business, Five Flights Wines and Spirits. We discuss how she got to where she is today, issues in the wine world, including the court of sommeliers, and so much more.
If you are in NYC, you can find Karen's wines at Urban Uncorked in Downtown Brooklyn and Duke's Liquor Box in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
This is the perfect episode to pop open a bottle of wine or perhaps a negroni, a shared favorite drink of mine and Karen's, sit back, and enjoy the show.
You can connect with Karen on instagram @fiveflightswinesandspirits or on her website at http://www.fiveflights.com/
