We hope you got a taste for Italian wine, travel, and learning about the wine world from Katarina in her Telesomm #SommStory -- for this episode we hope you learn more from this wine pro, as Katarina answered the following questions:Favorite pairing food and wine?If wine was not what you were drinking, what would be in your cup?What is your pet's favorite wineWhat are your top 3 wines and what does that say about you?A sommelier pairs well with_________. [Fill in the blank]What do people get wrong about being a sommWhat are you known for on the app?What do customers ask you about? What can a customer expect from a wine tasting with you?What's the difference between Chianti & Chianti Classico?"I don’t think there is one kind of wine to like. I think everyone can like wine. Everyone doesn’t need to be super knowledgeable about wine. It’s also important to just like wine. I don’t think you have to describe wine according to these parameters that have been constructed all these years.” ~Katarina Andersson, Grapevine AdventuresWe just learned so much from Katarina's Q&A we couldn't help to take a few tasting notes:SalernoChianti ClassicoChianti Wine: The Pride of TuscanyChianti vs. Chianti Classico – How Do They Differ?The Medici FamilySan GiulioNebbioloDeconstructing the language of wine to attract new consumersThe Language of WineGlossary of Wine TermsWhere does the word "wine" come from?How to Become a Sommelier + Wine Folly’s GuideRead: Katarina’s Wine StoryLearn more at: Katarina’s Wine Blog----Want to learn more about Telesomm?

Wine-Pro Tip from @Telesomm Christopher: When it comes to drinking wine in general, I hear people say I can’t drink red wine because the sulfite gives me a red wine headache but they’ll grab a bottle of pinot grigio or Chardonnay. My knowledge bomb is white wines have more sulfites than red wines. If you get a headache from red wine it is probably not the sulfites. Maybe learn about Mega Purple.For this quick Q&A, here are the questions our Telesomm wine pro, Christopher, answered:Favorite pairing food and wine?If wine was not what you were drinking, what would be in your cup?What is your pet's favorite wineWhat are your top 3 wines and what does that say about you?A sommelier pairs well with_________. [Fill in the blank]What do people get wrong about being a sommWhat are you known for on the app?What do customers ask you about? Does it matter if wines are labelled organic or biodynamic?What can a customer expect from a wine tasting with you?“My card says I am a sales representative, I consider myself a storyteller. It’s been very nice to be able to make a living off of telling stories and imbibing in some of the best products in the world."  ~Christopher Sachs, Travel By Wine ----Want to learn more about Telesomm?

Tesh Diyal’s roots in hospitality can really be traced back to his mom. His restaurant experience however, started from his time working at Morton’s the Steakhouse. Tesh moved on to other restaurants in California, including Piatti, Ella Dining Room and Bar, and then he graduated to become the Sommelier at the Kitchen for almost 4 years. Tesh then transitioned into wine sales to focus on growing his family, and after a year of selling wine to restaurants, he found himself furloughed due to the pandemic. That leads to now! Tesh is excited to put wines in front of you, your friends, and you family that you may not have or even known about before! His goal truly is to bridge the gap between good people and good wine!

In this #InVinoFab episode, Laura and Patrice talk about what it means to return to the office. In the US, vaccine rollout is happening and there has been talk about returning back to campus. For some there is excitement and others returning to work brings anxiety and dread and there are employees who are not interested in returning as offices open back up. Here’s what we are thinking about as we consider a shift from remote work to in office or a hybrid model of working:Return to the Office: How are you Supporting this Transition?How to Not Mess Up Return-to-the-OfficeFour-phase framework for returning to the officeA CEO’s Guide to Planning a Return to the Office         Questions to ask yourself and your team as you transition back to the office or some version of this:What are you thinking about returning to the office?What will being “back on campus” mean to you and your team?What did you learn from this year of remote work?What habits or practices do you want to bring back to the workplace?How are you preparing yourself and your team to make this transition?----In Vino Fabulum!

In this Between the Chapters episode, the the 25 Years of Ed Tech, Laura talks with Laura Gibbs, Brenna Clarke Gray, and Caroline Kuhn about Chapter 9: The Learning Management System (LMS). The panel of this episode rejects how the LMS is not “linky” and how closed LMS constrains both the learner and educator from engaging online. But we also caution against how this LMS hub has grown since 2002 in its role for digital teaching and learning for higher ed institutions to also expand into a repository for data collection, learning analytics, and surveillance. Listen to our metaphors and meanderings about the LMS, and what we’ve been thinking about thanks to Martin’s chapter #9 in the 25 Years of Ed Tech book:Ed-Tech Specialist Fights Proctorio LawsuitIn Defence of Ian Linkletter by BrennaDefend Linkletter: https://defend.linkletter.org A Teach-In Against SurveillancePaulo Freire: the pioneer of critical pedagogyConstructivism: Listen to Between the Chapters #Surveillance CapitalismThe Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff What did Hannah Arendt really mean by the banality of evil? Silvia Federici: Women, Reproduction, and the Construction of CommonsJakob Gowell: Syllabus-as-MetaphorOpening up the LMS Walled GardenCoronavirus Is the Perfect Disaster for ‘Disaster Capitalism’The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein Words for the LMS: cautious care, strategic use, resistance, transparency, awarenessQuestions:Where do we put the resources needed to actually use the LMS?What are the metaphors should we collect and dissect around teaching & learning?Do you think the LMS is a best practice?
