Feeling overwhelmed by complicated wine lists and want nothing more than your own personal wine selector? Defaulting to cocktails, beers, or seltzers because wine just never seems “right” for your palate? If wine shopping feels as tricky as assembling furniture without instructions, this episode of Everyday Sommelier is for you. Host Kristi Mayfield breaks down the confusion and helps you bridge the gap from your favorite familiar drinks—be that IPAs, margaritas, or citrusy seltzers—right into your perfect glass of wine.
Forget the pressure of loving bold Cabernets or oaky Chardonnays. Instead, leverage the flavors you already love. Kristi dives deep into translating your go-to drinks (from sparkling seltzers to craft beers and classic cocktails) into approachable wines you’ll actually enjoy. Discover the best wine recommendations for seltzer lovers, beer aficionados, and cocktail enthusiasts and learn why your taste preferences matter more than tradition.
Kristi also shares how to avoid rookie wine mistakes, the power of shopping for wine by flavor and texture (not just by label), and why wine in cans might be the best low-risk way to start your journey. Skip wine snobbery and say yes to finding a wine that finally fits your taste.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
• How to map your favorite cocktails, beers, or seltzers to wines you’re guaranteed to love
• The key mistakes beginners make with wine—and how to avoid them
• Easy pro tips for shopping confidently at any wine store
• Why enjoying wine is about your preferences, not following rules or “developing a taste”
