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.

As a featured speaker at corporate, association, and non-profit events across the US for the past 10 years, her client list ranges from Goldman Sachs, KPMG and AT&T to Macy's, Pizza Hut and the New York Phiilharmonic.

Clients count on Christine to wake up glassy-eyed conference goers at break-out sessions, break the ice at new business events and energize straightforward dinners. Thus, her wine tastings are inter-active, fast-paced programs where everyone gets involved, has fun and learns about wine and food. She also charms her audiences with witty quips, colorful wine lore, and funny answers to questions from guests.

You'll breathe a sigh of relief to discover 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, secrets and shortcuts to help regular wine drinkers save time, money and aggravation. Autographed copies of Christine's new book, "Secrets from The Wine Diva: Tips on Buying, Ordering & Enjoying Wine," are an ideal give away to attendees.

She is also a headliner at prestigious wine festivals across the US including Maimi, Hawaii, Nantucket, Atlanta and many more.

Christine is one of the nation's foremost wine educators. She is one of 190 Certified Wine Educators (CWE) in the US. She is also in an even more select circle with 95 Americans who have earned the Diploma (DWS) from London's prestigious Wine & Spirit Education Trust.
