Welcome to Episode 2093, where host Giulia Stocchetti interviews Tamara Ohanjanyan. In this episode, Tamara shares with us her experience and point of view having been a sommelier since 2015, hosting engaging wine tastings to educate people and make them more confident and comfortable with wine.\n\nMore about today\u2019s guest: Tamara Ohanjanyan\xa0\nA sommelier with passion! Tamara started her journey in the field in 2015. At first it was hard without proper wine experience to read and understand HOW different all the wines are. And yes they do not taste the same at all!\n\nAll started when she accidentally came across a job announcement where it said: "We are teaching about wine with the best sommeliers, come and join the course, if you succeed, you'll work with us". To put it in a nutshell, that's all I did. I ordered my first Atlas of wine and my cousin sent me 2 more books.\xa0\n\nIn that same year I registered for a 2 year joint program between Armenia and Germany (Geisenheim and Armenian Agrarian universities) "Enology and Wine Management". Thanks to the program we had the chance to travel to some European wine regions and see the winemaking process ourselves.\xa0\n\nI realized people needed more confidence in their wine selection when I was already working at a professional wine store in Yerevan, Armenia. People would ask me how I helped them to pick the wine they really liked, what criteria I used, how the wine was made, how to pair a wine with a specific dish etc.\xa0\n\nI started my first events called "Wine Talks" in 2017 (I still have the pics and I remember how enthusiastic we all were). And now here I am, organizing beautiful wine tastings in Italy, talking about wine history and via trivia games educating people. I love seeing confidence in their eyes every time we finish the event.\ufeff\n\nConnect:\xa0\nInstagram: WineTastinginNapoli\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamara-ohanjanyan-9028815b/\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Winetastinginnaples\n\nMore about the host:\xa0\nGiulia is an AIS Sommelier and holds the WSET Diploma.
