Meet Nicole
Wine is my passport. It transports me to a place, memory, or feeling. It’s a journey that should be experienced by everyone.
Tell us about your favorite wine trip.
My favorite wine trip was to the Loire Valley. We traveled from Muscadet to Sancerre, tasting the local wines and pairing them with local cuisine. The châteaux were incredible.
What's the one wine you would bring to a deserted island and why?
Definitely champagne. It’s thirst-quenching with bright acidity and a delicate mousse. It pairs with most foods, and I just love those toasty brioche notes.
