Isis Daniels, The Millenial Somm, can tell it like it is. There is no "fluff"here, just the facts maam. I was taken not only by her level of expertise but also by her ability to convey honest positions with honest feelings; a bit rare in today's social-network society. In other words, this is no AI Somm. When you invite ISIS Daniels, the Millennial Somm herself, into your headphones, you\u2019d best expect more than wine talk\u2014you\u2019re headed for a technicolor journey through bottles and generations, biases and breakthroughs. You\u2019ll quickly discover ISIS Daniels isn\u2019t interested in the labels on the front of the bottle so much as the stories\u2014and sometimes the battles\u2014behind them. What compels a millennial to upend the starchy old script of wine appreciation, to create a space that feels as fresh and inclusive as a porch with friends instead of a paneled tasting room? You\u2019ll learn how ISIS Daniels made wine her own, bringing in family members who never drank or never understood why it mattered, and, in the process, carving out new cultural spaces with every pour. You\u2019ll hear how a simple bottle from 7-Eleven, or a cringe-worthy supermarket staple, might be the gateway into joy and knowledge\u2014and why the wine world might be missing the point by turning up its nose. You\u2019ll get insider views on non-alcoholic wines, what \u201cclean\u201d and \u201cnatural\u201d really mean (hint: probably not what you think), and why inclusion matters beyond just having another seat at the table. Here are three things you\u2019ll take away from this candid, energizing conversation: How to welcome newcomers to wine without judgment, embracing every palate\u2014from sweet supermarket blends to terroir-driven bottles. How millennials and younger generations are reshaping wine culture by demanding inclusion, authenticity, and transparency around what\u2019s in the glass. Why conversations about women and people of color in wine are critical to understanding not just who makes wine, but how wine\u2019s business, storytelling, and even legislation are evolving. From D.C. wine caucuses to jazz festivals in Napa, you\u2019ll come away not just with wine wisdom, but with a whole new sense of what it means to taste, to share, and to belong.   https:\/\/youtu.be\/yTPKcCWuvgk   ","author_name":"Wine Talks with Paul K.","author_url":"https:\/\/www.winetalkspodcast.com","html":"
