Tanisha Townsend is a wine expert from Chicago and living and teaching in Paris. She hosts wine tours and speaks regularly to her audience on the Wine School Dropout podcast. She started her journey at a vineyard, where the experience of a cherry-like taste of the wine lead her to booking a course to learn more about the world of grapes.

In the episode Tanisha taught me how to brush up on my wine jargon, walked me through the aroma wheel, the parcour of her career and why you should keep an open mind if a certain Merlot wasn’t to your liking.
