I can't think of a better way to kick off Rosé Month on The Wine Atelier Podcast than with the fabulous Shari Gherman, President of the prestigious American Fine Wine Competition and co-collaborator on the 2018 Rosé Competition which took place recently here in South Florida.As a Judge for the AFWC for many years I was thrilled to hear of Shari's latest endeavor. Her sparkling personality and decade plus experience successfully running the AFWC made Shari the perfect partner for Bob Ecker, founder of The Rosé Competition. And out of the almost two hundred bottles of rosé submitted from around the globe, the results of the competition surprised the wine world! Despite the many pricey bottles submitted, the winner of Best of Show Sparkling Rosé was the J Vineyards Russian River Valley Brut Rosé ($45), while Best in Show Dry Rosé went to the Sauska Rosé Cuvée ($15) from Hungary - YES, you heard me - HUNGARY!!!For even more on the exciting results of the 2018 Rosé Competition, and to hear some of Shari's favorite rosé producers (as well as her favorite rosé food pairing!) please pour yourself a glass of something pink and hit the play button above!

On the latest episode of The Wine Atelier Podcast, I’m excited to introduce you to one of my favorite women in the world of wine, Spanish Wine Specialist and Winemaker, April Cullom.
April was (and continues to be) an inspiration to me as I was first making the transition into the wine industry over ten years ago. She's been involved in virtually every aspect of Spanish wine from serving as Brand Ambassador for some of the country's most beloved wine regions, to leading food and wine focused consumer tours to, most recently, making her own Spanish wines! So in today's episode she shares her fascinating journey into wine which includes some unexpected twists and turns and a LOT of serendipity and how it led her to where she is today. As an expert and wine educator, I have to say, we could ALL learn a thing or two from April!
