The details of an intriguing event with Karen MacNeil are below my inserted line, in case you want to just get to it.
I attended this year’s Rutherford Dust Society’s Day in the Dust 2018. More on that in another story, and this verbiage will just become the link. For now, I have to share this was the first presentation I attended, when Karen was the panel’s moderator and an overall educator. She – is- fascinating. She and her knowledge can hold an audience spellbound, as she shares all she knows about wine. This one was a media event, so it wasn’t open to the public… It was intended to inform wine writers. It was completely fascinating.
18TH ANNUAL DAY IN THE DUST
Wednesday, July 11th, 2018
New Location! Culinary Institute of America at Copia
Most of you know Karen MacNeil as the author of The Wine Bible. Please appreciate it took her 10 years to write this tome, and was without the luxury of the Internet for reading and research. She’s a walking wine encyclopedia, and you have a chance to get to know her a little bit better. Now, imagine she’s teaching a wine class and you say to yourself, “Oh my gawd… I can pick her brain, and take copious notes for future wine enjoyment, because she’s a Wine Master!”
Karen has a wealth of knowledge, is articulate, and knows how to seamlessly flow with information. I highly recommend that you spend some time with her… Listen to what she has to say, learn from a real master and ask all of those questions you always wished you could of someone so wine literate.
