b"Welcome to Episode 1005 Cynthia Chaplin interviews Alice Achayo, in this installment of Voices, on the Italian Wine Podcast.\\nMore about today\\u2019s guest:\\nAlice Achayo is the founder of the Wine Linguist. A business she started recently that focuses on expanding wine language through global cuisines. Having worked in different parts of the wine industry over the last last 6 years, she wanted to change what she saw was lacking: representation of the global majority\\u2019s language, culture, and cuisine. For far too long the wine language has been centered around Eurocentric and Western society. This is one of the many reasons why wine has always been intimidating, exclusive, and uninviting. While there are various ways to diversify the industry, a core focus of the Wine Linguist will be on global cuisine and wine pairing. For me the beauty of the wine language is that it relies on our individual sensory memories. Foods we\\u2019ve grown up eating and the scents that surrounded us, play a massive role in our wine vocabularies. Exposing our palate to other cultures\\u2019 cuisines will allow for us to learn new ways to talk about wine that is more inclusive and relatable to the majority.\\nTo learn more visit:\\nthewinelinguist.com\\nAbout today\\u2019s Host:\\nCynthia Chaplin is a Vinitaly International Academy certified Italian Wine Ambassador, a professional sommelier with Fondazione Italiana Sommelier, a member of Le Donne del Vino, and a Professor of Italian wine and culture.
