When I first got ‘into’ wine, I thought the only career paths were winemaker, sommelier or like, wine retailer. Kind of limiting, yeah? Luckily for me, I learned really quickly that there are plenty of careers dealing with wine besides those. I’ve been in wine over a decade now and while I have worked retail, I knew that wasn’t my life's path. Today’s guest majored in food politics thought import/export would be her career path. But as luck would have it, she found her way into the wine industry by a chance meeting at a coffee shop in a small village in the Loire Valley. Don’t let me spoil her story though, I’ll let her tell it. Meet Kimberly Lecointre. Special thanks to our guest Kimberly.
