The second episode of Wine With Wanda on Instagram Live featured wine educator and brand ambassador May Matta-Aliah. May holds a Diploma in Wine & Spirits from the Wine & Spirits Education Trust (WSET). She is also a Certified Educator (WSET) and holds the Advanced Sommelier Certification from the American Sommelier Association. As a brand ambassador, May represents wine and spirits regions and brands as their primary educator and ambassador. Her current brand ambassador clients include Franciacorta, Armagnac, and Alto Adige.
During our chat, May describes her wine journey, the role of formal wine education, what makes Alto Adige such a special wine region, and why you shouldn't judge a wine solely by its color. In the video we're both sipping wines from Alto Adige; May's pick was Nals Margreid Galea Schiava 2018 Alto Adige DOC (around $20) and mine was Elena Walch Vigna Castel Ringberg Pinot Grigio 2018 Alto Adige DOC (around $29).
