On Tour With Ziggy

Catch "Wine Wednesday" with Ziggy on the Morning Krush - Wednesdays at 7:30am

 

Ziggy “The Wine Gal” Eschliman — whose award-winning wine radio shows are broadcast on both coasts — has the brightest, most refreshing voice in wine and spirits today. This groovy guru of libation locks formal pretense in the cellar and embraces the pure fun and pleasures essential to enjoying wine.

 

“Most wine lovers value quality and like good wine but dislike the stuffiness and ritual often associated with it; that’s where I come in!” beams Ziggy. Whether it’s bubbly, Bordeaux or Zinfandel, vodka or tequila, Ziggy knows the dirt: the who, the what, the where and the why in every bottle.


Ziggy is a seasoned journalist, a highly sought-after guest speaker, a dynamic lecturer and an advocate for the good life. As an educator and a wine judge, she earns high marks and seamlessly weaves her diverse knowledge with a sense of whimsy and spontaneity.

***HOLIDAY WINE PICKS***


(This years list of wine picks mention descriptions from myself and each panel member. We had an incredible panel of wine writers, sommeliers, winery owners,  winemakers and wine aficionado's) There are both lower price point and high end wines. All wines were tasted blind and chosen for exceptional quality. Note, there was a tie this year for high end red wines. Both are made from organic fruit and are biodynamically farmed.
