So excited for this show!

Just one thing:  I have zero knowledge in wine, I literally need Alicia to explain every single word that is not English...

What are all these different names?

what I did understand from her was that I am the boss over my pallet to decide what is tasty and what pairs well.

I really enjoyed learning about the wines and how to taste. Alicia had great enthusiasm and was fabulous.
