Find out more about Lisa:

Lisa has a simple life philosophy: Good friends + good food + good wine = good times. Although her four different wine certifications speak to her technical knowledge, Lisa believes that "too much information" sums up how wine professionals speak to the average person. She says its like selling a sweater by discussing types of stitching, thread count and dying techniques when all the customer really wants to know is: Is it warm?
