Welcome to Season 2 of the “Hospitality Forward” Podcast by Hanna Lee Communications!
In our season’s first episode, Michael Anstendig and Hanna Lee chat with Leslie Sbrocco, a wine and food writer, award-winning television show host, author and global wine and spirits competition judge. Leslie is a regular guest on NBC's “Today Show” on all things wine-related and the author of two acclaimed wine books. She is also the host of two PBS shows, “Check, Please! Bay Area” and “100 Days, Drinks, Dishes, and Destinations.”
Tune in to hear this sunny and engaging wine expert share her thoughts on:
1. Why she misses the “discovery” aspect of travel.
2. How she’s staying on top of the wine scene during the pandemic.
3. Why it is important to grab her attention in the first paragraph of a pitch and to be persistent.
4. How the growing popularity of smaller formats, like half bottles, is emerging from the current lockdowns.
5. Why she created “Leslie Live” on social media.
Leslie also answers a listener question from Jeany Cronk of Mirabeau Wine.
