Treble & Vine Arianna Lyrist

When it comes to wine-making, organic is one thing, but biodynamic is a whole different level. In this episode, Arianna Lyrist sips some certified vegan, biodynamic wine, The Bernhard Cabernet Sauvignon, with Mandy Crowe Koslin of up-and-coming natural wine company, Scout & Cellar. Mandy breaks down what makes a biodynamic wine and how they ensure pure and clean products every time. They also discuss the extent of its benefits not only for wine drinkers but for the earth as well. She also talks about how she found out about Scout & Cellar and where her passion for wine came from. Tune in to learn more about sustainable wine-making practices and where to get your own glass of biodynamic wine.

Treble&Vine; a podcast dedicated to the people influencing the music and wine community. Curated by your host and creator, Arianna Lyrist. Arianna is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter and performing artist, wine enthusiast and currently working toward her Wine, Spirit, Education Trust Level 3 certification.

The sommelier life doesn’t depart much from being a stage performer. Being the director of food and wine in a restaurant involves the evocation of emotions in people, just like a singer or dancer would during a performance. Jenelle Engleson is no stranger to the metaphor as she has glided in both pairs of shoes during the course of her adult life. Before coming to the Nashville's wine scene, Jenelle performed as a New York City Rockette! Throughout her life she has worked in and out of the service industry but it wasn't until she hung up her ballet shoes, fell in love and moved to Nashville that Jenelle worked her way up in service and became a Certified Sommelier, Wine Director, Restaurant Manager and now Distributor. Listen in as she tells us the details of her journey in this conversation with Arianna Lyrist.

Given the natural sophistication of wine, it is indeed more than just a passionate beverage, but also a unique way to connect with people, immerse in a particular culture, and go to your relaxing place. This is why wine enthusiasts exist, and John Dyke is one of them. Known prominently as John the Dropout, he joins Arianna Lyrist to share how his deep love for wine started, his favorite ones to drink for different situations, and how this fascination impacts his strong gravitation towards people and the arts. John also talks about his music career, as well as his plans that will hopefully lead him to be able to buy at least fourteen Lamborghinis.
