Ep 97
From starting her own winery to exploring unique grape varietals rarely known outside of Sardinia, Nikki Dickerson, also known on Instagram as Sip with Nik, is back on the podcast today!
Today, Nikki is sharing her passion for unique wine varietals and how her love for Sardinian wine was born when she discovered rare wines like Semidano and Nuragus. Nikki shares her drive to introduce these hidden gems to a larger audience and how her Substack serves as the conduit to this. We also discuss her ambition to import wines that are not just unique but also made with sustainability in mind. She aims to highlight wines that aren’t readily available in the US, with an emphasis on biodynamic and regenerative organic agriculture. Through her work as an international wine marketer, vigneron, and writer, Nikki shares the untold stories behind each bottle.
So, if you are ready to dive into lesser known wine varietals, explore the world of Sardinian wines, and hear Nikki’s dream of importing these gems to the US, then today’s episode is for you!
This is part 2 of my conversation with Nikki. If you missed part one you can catch that at episode 96 where we talked about the complexity of Sardinia's wine culture, the lesser known indigenous grape varieties, and Nikki’s insights and passion for Sardinia.
