Did you know that England is famous for making sparkling wine? In fact the south of England is perfect for growing Champagne varietals and the English have capitalized on this by making outstanding sparkling wine in the traditional method. In today's episode I interview Master Sommelier Laura Rhys on the current English wine market as well as her position as a female Master Sommelier in London. Laura works as the Global Brand Ambassador for Gusbourne wines, a well known English winery located in Kent. Laura was the 2009 UK Sommelier of the Year and has worked in countless positions in the wine industry. She is an amazing person and we had a wonderful conversation.
