Introvert Wine Podcast by Xeniya
Exploring the world of wine one episode at a time.
From a view point of a sommelier and serial wine traveller.
Nerdiness level: beginner, sommelier level: medium, excitement level: advanced!
I'm a sommelier from Kazakhstan, currently working and studying in France. I have an undying passion to explore every wine corner in this world and share it with you - one episode at a time.
I also specialise in marketing, communications, PR and events. Bringing in past experience in Human Ressources, I'm curios about people in wine and their stories.
A serial wine pins&diplomas collector: DipWSET with Merit, Weinakademiker, Italian Wine Ambassador, Cava Advanced Educator, finalist of Best Sommelier of Kazakhstan, completed courses on: Champagne, Burgundy, Jerez, Swiss Wines, Wines of South Africa, Wines of Australia, Rioja... More coming;)
