We hope you got a taste for Italian wine, travel, and learning about the wine world from Katarina in her Telesomm #SommStory -- for this episode we hope you learn more from this wine pro, as Katarina answered the following questions: "I don’t think there is one kind of wine to like. I think everyone can like wine. Everyone doesn’t need to be super knowledgeable about wine. It’s also important to just like wine. I don’t think you have to describe wine according to these parameters that have been constructed all these years.” ~Katarina Andersson, Grapevine AdventuresWe just learned so much from Katarina's Q&A we couldn't help to take a few tasting notes: SalernoChianti ClassicoChianti Wine: The Pride of TuscanyChianti vs. Chianti Classico – How Do They Differ?The Medici FamilySan GiulioNebbioloDeconstructing the language of wine to attract new consumersThe Language of WineGlossary of Wine TermsWhere does the word "wine" come from?How to Become a SommelierWine Folly’s GuideKatarina’s Wine StoryKatarina’s Wine Blog---- Want to learn more about Telesomm?

Wine-Pro Tip from @Telesomm Christopher: When it comes to drinking wine in general, I hear people say I can’t drink red wine because the sulfite gives me a red wine headache but they’ll grab a bottle of pinot grigio or Chardonnay. My knowledge bomb is white wines have more sulfites than red wines. If you get a headache from red wine it is probably not the sulfites. Maybe learn about Mega Purple. For this quick Q&A, here are the questions our Telesomm wine pro, Christopher, answered: organicbiodynamic“My card says I am a sales representative, I consider myself a storyteller. It’s been very nice to be able to make a living off of telling stories and imbibing in some of the best products in the world." ~Christopher Sachs, Travel By Wine ---- Want to learn more about Telesomm?

Follow him on Instagram: travelbywine and on the Telesomm app “People who don’t even want to try the wine, they just want to hear the story. They will close their eyes and take a trip to whatever region I am telling them about. And it’s just magical.” ~Christopher Sachs, Travel By Wine Here are just a few of our tasting notes from the episode: CarménèreBordeauxGerman RieslingChampagne region of FranceChampagneProseccoCavaCremanLoire Valley FranceMuscadetPinot NoirCorkbuzz1997 Château Haut-Brion---- Want to learn more about Telesomm?

For this quick Q&A, here are the questions our Telesomm wine pro, Kelly, answered: “Wine does not live in a vacuum to me. It is connected to social justice, it is political, it is absolutely agricultural, for me wine is my people, it’s my community, it’s my relationship with people. It is how I travel and explore the world. “ ~Kelly Cornett, A Cork in the Road ---- Want to learn more about Telesomm? Do you have a wine question or topics we should ask a somm? Let us know!

For this quick Q&A, here are the questions our Telesomm wine pro answered: “Tell the sommelier what you like, but be adventurous. ‘I’m feeling adventurous, can you bring me something I haven’t had before.’ And just keep an open mind. The world of wine is so big you’ll never taste it all so why stick to one thing.” ~ Tesh Diyal, Wine with Tesh ---- Want to learn more about Telesomm?

Tesh Diyal’s roots in hospitality can really be traced back to his mom. His restaurant experience however, started from his time working at Morton’s the Steakhouse. Tesh moved on to other restaurants in California, including Piatti, Ella Dining Room and Bar, and then he graduated to become the Sommelier at the Kitchen for almost 4 years. Tesh then transitioned into wine sales to focus on growing his family, and after a year of selling wine to restaurants, he found himself furloughed due to the pandemic. That leads to now! Tesh is excited to put wines in front of you, your friends, and you family that you may not have or even known about before! His goal truly is to bridge the gap between good people and good wine!

In this #InVinoFab episode, Laura and Patrice talk about what it means to return to the office. In the US, vaccine rollout is happening and there has been talk about returning back to campus. For some there is excitement and others returning to work brings anxiety and dread and there are employees who are not interested in returning as offices open back up. Here’s what we are thinking about as we consider a shift from remote work to in office or a hybrid model of working: Return to the Office: How are you Supporting this Transition?How to Not Mess Up Return-to-the-OfficeFour-phase framework for returning to the officeA CEO’s Guide to Planning a Return to the OfficeQuestions to ask yourself and your team as you transition back to the office or some version of this: ---- In Vino Fabulum!
