This episode of Wine 101 is brought to you by Wines of Alsace and Alsace Rocks. Tucked between the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine River in northeastern France, Alsace is one of the most distinctive wine regions on earth, and is home to centuries of family winemaking, some of France’s most certifiably organic vineyards, and a remarkable diversity of soils. From aromatic Riesling and Pinot Gris to the region’s acclaimed Crémant d’Alsace sparkling wine and lively Pinot Noir, Alsace produces wines that are as versatile and expressive as the land they come from. Discover Wines of Alsace at Wine.com/Alsace, and follow along at @winesofalsace.

American wine stories are ongoing, but in this era of the industry, the stories of how people come to wine are just as exciting as they were in the past — just different. As always, family and community remain the main focus.

Today on “Wine 101,” Keith invites Alison Smith Story to tell her journey in wine. Enjoy this casual conversation about how someone fell into the wine biz.

“Wine 101” was produced, recorded, and edited by yours truly, Keith Beavers, at the VinePair headquarters in New York City. I want to give a big old shout-out to co-founders Adam Teeter and Josh Malin for creating VinePair. Also, Darby Cicci for the theme song. And I want to thank the entire VinePair staff for helping me learn something new every day. See you next week.
