“As The Wine Coach, I have always loved being able to bring my knowledge of wine and my passion for making it more fun and accessible together so that people can make it a part of their lives,” said Ms. Forster. “I also think it’s important to talk about what’s happening around the world as much as it is to discuss what is taking place in your local community. My radio show will incorporate both.”
Each week, Mr. Forster will bring her witty sense of humor and no-nonsense approach to food, wine, spirits and travel to the show. She will keep listeners abreast of the latest innovations, news and trends from the food and wine worlds and will also conduct interviews with celebrity winemakers, chefs, brewers and more. Regular features will include Sip of the Week, listener questions (e-mail them to radio@thewinecoach.com.) and a weekly food pairing or Wine Sandwich segment.

The queen of wine edu-tainment, she is also the author of the award-winning book, The Sipping Point, and a regular guest on TV and radio shows across the country, including Martha Stewart Radio. Ms. Forster’s wine career began in Manhattan, where she studied with the American Sommelier Association and has since earned an Advanced Certificate with Merit from the Wine & Spirits Education Trust (WSET) and has trained at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley.
