In this episode of the Vint Wine Podcast, host Billy Galanko sits down with wine writer, speaker, and cultural commentator Chasity Cooper, named one of Wine Enthusiast’s 40 Under 40 Tastemakers, for a wide-ranging conversation about how she’s changing the way people talk about and engage with wine.
Chasity shares how a study abroad trip to Madrid sparked her passion for wine, and how her background in journalism and nonprofit communications led her to carve a path in wine media. From early Instagram posts to bylines in VinePair and Wine Enthusiast, she explains what it took to break into a space that’s often viewed as exclusive and intimidating.
