Bianca Bosker left a career as a tech writer to explore the world of sommeliers, wine makers, and well-heeled oenophiles. A wine novice at first, Bosker quickly got sucked into the community of bottle-obsessives through working in restaurants and attending tastings and events, including the notorious La Paulée fest, which Bianca describes a big “wine orgy.” After becoming a certified sommelier, Bosker turned the notes from her journey into "Cork Dork," an immensely entertaining book that demystifies the wine industry. In her chat With Helen and Greg, Bianca looks back on some of the most surprising moments she encountered on her quest to becoming a master taster, and she offers some notes on how anyone can approach wine like a bona fide Cork Dork.
