The Wine CEO Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

After over 3.5 years of podcasting, 175 episodes, and over 100k downloads - it's time to take a break. I'm so grateful for each and every one of you who tunes in each Wednesday morning to my show! I love this podcast and enjoy creating new wine content every week for you, but I also recognize that it's important to rest and recharge my creative battery.

I'll be taking a sabbatical from my weekly Wine CEO Podcast and will also be taking a short break from social media in the coming weeks. If you have any questions about wine or requests for future content/ episodes, please feel free to email me Sarah@thewineceo.com or DM me on Instagram  @thewineceo  and I will respond to you when I return from my break.

Thank you all for your love and support! I'm so grateful for this community and the encouragement you have shown me over the last few years. I hope you drink something new and delicious this week and I will see you all soon!

Did you know that wine has been made in Georgia for over 8,000 years?!? And we're not talking about the state of Georgia - we're talking about The Republic of Georgia, straddling Europe and Asia. Wineries in this region are mostly small production facilities on family farms using ancient, traditional winemaking processes. Today on The Wine CEO Podcast Sarah interviews Dr. Kelly McBride, Director of Public & Media Relations for Emerald Wines, the PR firm for Silk Road Wines. Silk Road is a wine distributor that imports natural wines from Georgia. Listen now to learn more about wines from Georgia as well as Kelly's unique career path and how she got into the wine industry without any formal training or hospitality experience!
