"Diana is someone who knows wine and knows how to use it, without offending you or your senses. She's clever as a Cabernet, hilarious as a homemade white Zinfandel, and effervescent as a bottle of bubbly. Diana will make you a lifelong friend of wine and will become a great friend at the same time." "Looking for someone incredibly wine-savvy who is also articulate, charming, witty and entertaining? Need a wine professional who is the antithesis of the "insufferable wine snob?" You've found her! I worked with Diana for two years, and after 30 years in the business I can assure you there isn't a more thoroughly engaging wine expert to be found." "Diana Hamann has the two most important talents required of a wine educator: A thorough understanding of wine and food and a wonderfully wry sense of humor, which she uses to add levity to the often mysterious subject of wine. As if that weren't enough, she can explain the United States arcane 3-tier wine distribution system while playing the Star Spangled Banner on kazoo." "Diana has considerable knowledge, an experienced palate, and a delightful wit—a rare combination much needed in the world of wine. She's also a superb presenter and can connect with people at any level of wine expertise." "Diana Hamann makes wine tastings fun again—which is exactly what they should be and so often are not. Her discussions are down to earth, educational, light and lively. Plus, she's real good people." "To the Wine Goddess—thank you for teaching us to appreciate the 'scent of wine!' Your presentation was extremely informative and entertaining, and the charming summer whites you introduced to us matched your charming personality." |
