It is connected to social justice, it is political, it is absolutely agricultural, for me wine is my people, it’s my community, it’s my relationship with people. It is how I travel and explore the world." ~Kelly Cornett, A Cork in the RoadHere are just a few of the many things we learned from this wine pro on #InVinoFab:Shenandoah Valley Virginiaexercise physiologysyrah Small producers of SonomaMarsanne-Roussanne ViuraChardonnayThe Rhône ValleyPét-natBurgundy Find Kelly on the Telesomm app!“For me it’s helping people discover something new. The light bulb that happens when I can help somebody understand something new about wine, no matter where they came from, what they’ve had in the past, they’re able to apply their new knowledge of wine. That’s the best part.” ~Kelly @ACorkintheRoad----Want to learn more about Telesomm? Do you have a wine question or topics we should ask a somm?
