Om Podcasten

Hello, welcome to the Paris Wine Girl podcast! I am your host Emily Lester an American Cabaret showgirl turn sommelier that sold everything and moved to France. I navigate a different path that is always lead by curiosity. I try to understand and celebrate the reasons why wine can transport you to another world the way art and creativity do. I like to tell stories, share interviews with you, and introduce you to the people behind the great wines I’ve discovered.
