Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a career in wine, whether as a TV or radio personality, writer, author, podcaster, event organizer, speaker or consultant? Well, our guests tonight have done it all and you’re in for a treat with colourful stories from their brilliant careers!
In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Susie Barrie and Peter Richards, Masters of Wine for part one of our two-part conversation.
You can find the wines we discussed at www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.
Highlights
- When did Susie decide she wanted to change her career from acting to wine?
- When was Peter’s unorthodox introduction to wine writing?
- Why should you always keep a bottle of wine in your bag?
- What was the hardest moment in Susie’s journey as a wine expert?
- What did Peter learn about himself and his writing style from the low points in his career?
- Why is food such a great place for you to start learning about wine?
- What have been the highlights of Susie and Peter’s careers so far?
- How do Susie and Peter simplify wine by breaking it down into categories?
- How did Peter come to recognize the impact of their work?
- When did Susie develop her Michelin star-worthy cooking style?
- How has wine impacted Susie and Peter’s relationship?
- What effect does a career in wine have on your children?
- What has been Susie and Peter’s experience with wine-fueled marathons?
- Why should you wear fancy dress when running a marathon?
Key Takeaways
- I loved listening to the journeys that brought both Susie and Peter from such different backgrounds to the world of wine. I feel we all sort of stumble into this world, and then never want to leave it.
- I couldn’t agree more with their take that a great place to start learning about wine is through food pairing and to heck with those who scoff at the notion. That’s why my online Wine Smart Course focuses on pairings.
- I enjoyed hearing how wine has affected their relationship beyond the shared passion and the stories about running the Medoc marathon that were so amusing. Wine bridges so many cultures, regions and moments.
