Cork & Fizz Wine Education
Добавлен 1 фев 2024
I'm Hailey, wine enthusiast turned wine educator and founder of Cork & Fizz. I’ve always loved learning new things (yes I was that kid that did math for fun), but throughout school and joining the workforce, learning became more about achieving and succeeding. It wasn’t until I found my passion for wine that I rediscovered my joy for learning! With this in mind, I created Cork & Fizz to share my passion and make wine more approachable to everyone. I want to be a resource for casual sippers and wine lovers like myself. On this page you'll find my wine podcast: The Cork & Fizz Guide to Wine and who knows, maybe some other videos in the future!
