Wine Face

Helen Johannesen

Helen Johannesen from Helen’s Wines in Los Angeles is breaking down the ins and outs of wine: How it’s made, why it’s important, what you should drink, and why people often make it so damn elitist. Fifteen-minute wine classes (Listen on your way to work!) will educate you, tell stories about the people behind the grapes, and teach you why it’s important to pay attention to what and where you consume. Laughter, food & wine pairings, and surprise guests will abound.
