QUESTION ONE
Ellen: Question number one: whatcha drinking? What are you into these days?
Kristin: I’m drinking a lot of my own Proxies. I’m not gonna lie; I’m so into them. And Champagne . Andre Clouet . That’s our house Champagne. It’s rich, it’s textured.
QUESTION TWO
Ellen: Question number two is: do you have a favorite or unusual pairing?
Kristin: Orange wine and sushi is my favorite thing.
QUESTION THREE
Ellen: Favorite snack?
Kristin: Salt and Vinegar chips. Cape Cod. Or Utz.
QUESTION FOUR
Ellen: What do you drink when not drinking wine? You can give me one non-alcoholic, one alcoholic.
Kristin: I love big, punch-you-in-the-face IPAs. Which is not how I like wine. For non-alcoholic—I’m such a big tea drinker, the gnarlier the better like burdock root with mushrooms.
QUESTION FIVE
Ellen: Question number five: what’s bringing you joy these days?
Kristin: Surfing, definitely. I saw some dolphins yesterday. That always feels special when you see dolphins in the wild. And then you know there’s no sharks, because they’re scared of dolphins.

Very interesting wine. After it opens up, tastes a bit like tea leaves. Pretty complex — 4 months ago
