"I believe in wine drinking, not wine thinking. There's simply no substitute for pulling corks."

Background
Everyone remembers a great teacher who not only knew his or her subject but was so charismatic that it was a joy to be in class. That in a nutshell is "The Wine Diva,"SM a.k.a. Christine Ansbacher. For the past five years she has wowed corporate and private clients in fast-paced, interactive, fun wine tastings that are educational and entertaining.
In addition to her top notch educational credentials, Christine has traveled to every major wine region in the world walking the vineyards with the vigneron and tasting wines with the winemaker. She has recommended wines for restaurants and private cellars, including the 15,000 bottle collection of New York philanthropist and social figure, Carter Burden, who entrusted Christine to maintain the quality of the selections in it.
Wherever Christine has traveled she has always been asked the same questions about wine. How do I pick the right wine? How do I serve it? What wine goes with this food? These questions and answers form the basis of all of her entertaining programs as well as her new book. As Christine says (with credit to Benjamin Franklin), "Wine should be a laugh, not a lecture."
The Bottom Line
The Wine Diva"SM can make your event a more special one. Corporate retreats, breakout sessions at a conference, client dinners and spousal programs are all great occasions for a wine tasting event.
Remember, by the end of a fun-filled wine tasting it's not about tasting wine….it's about crowd control!
