Learn from Andrea Immer Robinson

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Andrea Immer Robinson is coming to Macy's this Saturday afternoon.

Who? Well, that depends on what channel you watch. Andrea Immer Robinson is host of the Fine Living Network's Simply Wine and Pairings with Andrea. She's also popped up on the Food Network's Cooking Live Primetime, Hot off the Grill, and Emeril Live. She shows up periodically on CBS This Morning and NBC Nightly News, as well as countless publications.

Now I don't get the Fine Living Network – we're basic cable kind of folks – but I like Andrea for different reasons. Namely, she's made a name for herself as a woman in wine. Here's a snippet from her rather impressive biography:

Andrea is one of only 16 women in the world
who have been appointed Master Sommelier by the prestigious Court of
Master Sommeliers. She was the first woman ever chosen Best Sommelier
in the United States by the Sommelier Society of America. Andrea also
became the first appointed Dean of Wine Studies for COPIA: The American
Center for Wine, Food and the Arts in Napa in 2008. In 2007 she was
appointed Master Sommelier for Delta Air Lines, for whom she chooses
all of the in-flight wines for its Business Elite cabin.

Amidst everything else, Andrea is the head of Macy's Culinary Council. She'll be offering
a free seminar from 1-2 pm at Macy's Kenwood location this coming
Saturday, 4/25. You have to call for reservations as seating is limited
(513.247.6411). I've already made reservations for two.

Thanks to my friends at Vinoklet Winery for letting me know!
