Dirty Like Wine | Isabel Kardon Neuhaus | Barrels & Roots

I sat down with Isabel Neuhaus, a sommelier and wine educator at a two-Michelin-star restaurant in New York City.Isabel breaks down why wine feels so intimidating to most people and why it absolutely doesn't have to be. We talk about how you don't need to know languages, memorize tasting notes, or spend a fortune to belong in the world of wine, you just need curiosity and the right person to share a bottle with.Isabel walks us through the wines she'd pour for a total beginner, why your local wine shop is the single best investment you can make as a new drinker, and how smell and memory are so deeply connected that a single sip can take you back decades.What's the one wine experience that completely surprised you, and what made it so memorable?
