From her first sip to her most recent seminar, she remains committed to sharing the stories behind the wines and the people who make them—with warmth, curiosity, and style.
Wanda's Wine Advice: Don’t feel intimidated by what you don’t know. The beauty of wine is that it is a lifelong learning experience. Step out of your comfort zone and seize opportunities to taste everything from everywhere.
