Kristi De Vita joins us on Pouring Stories, to share her family's French connection to Chartreuse, adding needed context to her hidden tattoo reveal during the podcast. Kristi goes on to talk about leaving Boulder City for a new life in New York City, gaining the attitude she needed to navigate the sidewalks, and becoming the Business Development Manager for Gallo in New York! She finishes by teaching us a trick, opens a bottle of Champagne, and detailing the finer points of the glassware we choose.
