"Wine does not live in a vacuum to me. It is connected to social justice, it is political, it is absolutely agricultural, for me wine is my people, it’s my community, it’s my relationship with people. It is how I travel and explore the world." ~Kelly Cornett, A Cork in the Road

“For me it’s helping people discover something new. The light bulb that happens when I can help somebody understand something new about wine, no matter where they came from, what they’ve had in the past, they’re able to apply their new knowledge of wine. That’s the best part.” ~Kelly @ACorkintheRoad
