Washington State Wines: A Conversation with Nancy Croisier of Vino Social
Nancy Croisier joins us to discuss her career educating people about Washington state wines.
A former corporate HR career through a year of layoffs led Nancy to search for a new career that would bring happiness back into her life. She describes how she found her new passion through a local educational opportunity. A love of wine and food pairings led into helping wineries advertise their offerings and educate their customers.
Nancy also accomplishes the unheard of task of getting Scott to acknowledge our neighboring state to the South might actually do something better than Washington.
