Bio
Full Bio
Author and wine educator, Christine Ansbacher, is known professionally as The Wine Diva because “she’s intent on instructing with a healthy dose of theatrics,” according to the New York Post. As a featured speaker at corporate, convention, cultural and non-profit events throughout the US, her clients include icons such as Merrill Lynch, American Express, Pizza Hut and The New York Philharmonic. Clients count on Christine to wake up glassy-eyed conference goers at break-out sessions, break the ice at new business events, energize straightforward dinners… and even act as the high-voltage auctioneer at non-profit fundraisers.
Since the launch of her new book entitled “Secrets from The Wine Diva: Tips on Buying, Ordering and Enjoying Wine” (Sterling, 2006), Christine has been a sought-after keynote speaker at prestigious wine festivals across the US including Las Vegas, Denver, Atlanta and Miami. Her wine tastings are inter-active, fast-paced programs where everyone gets involved, has fun and learns about wine and food. She charms her audiences with witty quips, colorful wine lore, and funny answers to questions from guests. You will breathe a sigh of relief to learn she avoids the typical “vino babble” about soil, climate and how a wine smells like blueberries with a whiff of smoky bacon fat and tar. Instead, she shares practical tips to help regular wine drinkers get more pleasure from their glass and not have to pay a lot for their pleasure. For example: •three tricks to make a $10 Cabernet taste like a $30 bottle •six reasons to actually refuse a bottle of wine at a restaurant •great values and smart splurges in restaurants and the wine store •how to avoid the dreaded “red wine headache.”
Her wine credentials are top notch. She has the highest certification from the Society of Wine Educators and is a Certified Wine Educator, (CWE), which requires an exceptional standard of academic knowledge and sensory capability. There are only 180 CWEs in the US. She has also earned an advanced three year Diploma (DWS) from the London-based Wine & Spirit Education Trust and is in a select circle with only 75 other US wine professionals.
