1. It’s important to know a lot about your subject matter (in my case, wine and travel) and how the two compliment each other, but I think it’s even more crucial to be able to speak about it to your audience in a compelling way. I love them both and love conveying the facts and intricate stories behind them. #host
2. I am passionate, not only about wine tasting, but also in everything around it. Yes, it’s the magic of nature, but its also about the instincts of the wine maker and that takes a lot of effort, patience and craftsmanship. Show these facts and the show becomes even better! #passion
3. Wine and travel are about enjoying life and they should be accessible to everyone. I wanted the show to treat them that way and not in a pretentious manner. After all, the wine and places you remember best are the ones you shared with the people you like/love. #lavieenrose
4. The world of wine and its aficionados have a heavy social media presence. A good show will use mediums like Twitter to interact with them, share information, and keep an ear to the ground of where to go and when, for a great wine experiences. . #wine
5. I believe in teamwork. The whole team should have an interest in the subject. I will produce a film crew that can handle a few drops because, after all, we will have to drink and work at the same time! Hey, someone has to do the job! #nowino
