Diana Dinerman (comedian, writer) joins Shaughn and Ellen to get into her journey from dance to writer to comedian and all the wine that came along the way.
The hip sip tip from Shaughn is bottle-fermented Glera from McLaren Vale! Ellen’s is Grappa…or is it?
The group cracks open a bottle of Chilean Cinsault called GLUP! An unusual style to see out of the Valle de Itata.
Diana got a solid foundation in wine when she was living in Alsace. She went on to discover Grenache Blanc once back in the states. They discuss how good wine could be found in gas stations in France, but just because it’s European doesn’t mean its good.
She shares how coursework on a performance history lead to her putting aside her studies and detouring to performing.
The conversation turns to a deep discussions on history and patriarchy and how to learn from the past and make good changes. Plus, why Virginia Woolf was right about a rooms of one’s own!
A game of what’s in the glass gets into a conversation on how wine gets the flavor descriptors it does. Lastly, the joy of making risky decisions that pay off!
