Join The Wonderful World of Wine (WWW) hosts Kim and Mark for a conversation with Maryse Chevriere. A certified sommelier, acclaimed illustrator, author, and James Beard award winner, 

Wine Illustration Talk With Maryse Chevriere

Maryse shares the fascinating, and "very very reluctant," story of her journey into the world of wine.

Listeners will get an inside look at how the wine scenes differ between New York, San Francisco, and Boston. 

The discussion delves into her unique illustrations, which earned her the 2016 James Beard Award for Humor. Dubbing herself the "drunk doodler," Maryse explains how she finds inspiration to create her whimsical and insightful wine tasting note illustrations, which have been featured in publications like Food & Wine and Bon Appetit.

The episode also uncorks her book, Grasping the Grape, covering practical topics like wine shopping, the aging potential of rosé, and deciphering wine labels. Maryse provides her expert tips on finding the perfect bottle and offers information on wine importers. 

Get ready for a sneak peek as she teases details about her upcoming new book. Finally, the show concludes with a thought-provoking comparison of her hand-drawn tasting note illustrations to those generated by artificial intelligence.

Find Maryse and her work on her website, www.fcghstudio.com, and on Instagram @freshcutgardenhose. 

Cheers!
