SawyerSomm is in the house! Wine’s most prolific film and music pairing expert is here. Oh if those wine bottles could talk. Fortunately Chris Sawyer talks about the stories behind the label – like the time he shared Cabernet Franc one-on-one with Mikhail Gorbachev.
There’s just not enough time to describe Chris’s impact on the wine world. His unique approach to pairing films with vintages, and behind-the-scenes stories from Hollywood to Napa Valley are legendary and unforgettable. But, as you’ll learn, Chris keeps it real and down-to-earth.
From hosting underground cellar tastings to rubbing shoulders with Michael Keaton and Francis Ford Coppola, Chris proves that wine is more than just a drink—it’s a story waiting to unfold. Grab a glass and enjoy the conversation!
