I can’t tell you how excited I was when I opened my box from Naked Wines and Nova’s Snowshell Riesling was in there waiting for me!
I’ve been honored to interview her before – she is one of the women in the wine world I follow and learn from in my wine journey. I was thrilled when she accepted my offer to do a video tasting and talk about her upcoming wine projects.
Please watch and enjoy! If you want to taste along and get a bottle or two or her wine from Naked Wines click here: you’ll support up and coming winemakers around the world (= a good thing!)
