Cork Talk with Susan Lin MW

from The Tim Atkin Cork Talk Podcast · host timatkincorktalk

Does listening to music affect our impression of wine? Some professional tasters argue that only silence will do. Susan Lin is the ideal person to give us some answers, as she’s both a professional pianist and someone who wrote her Master of Wine Research paper on classical music and the sensory perception of Non-Vintage Champagne. Our chat provided a deep dive into the world of cross-modal correspondences – and so much else besides. To read more about Susan have a look at her website. You can also follow her on Instagram at @susanrlin. Don’t forget, Cork Talk is now available on Spotify as well as Apple Podcasts, where you can listen to this week’s episode, plus my back catalogue of interviews with some of the world’s most extraordinary wine figures.
