0:00.0	Benvenuto, welcome back to the Untold Italy podcast, Liv, and Benvenuto, welcome for the first time, Andrea.
0:08.3	Hi, Grazie, Katie. Oh, it's so exciting to have you here. Now, Live, most of our listeners have heard your voice many times,
0:15.8	and I've just explained that you're part of my very special Italian family, but you're here on the podcast today
0:22.2	to talk about something that we all love and that's wine. So perhaps we should backtrack a little
0:28.2	and get you to tell your story and how you and Andrea came to know so much about Italian

1:33.9	In Australia, I studied the Wessek course or Wine and Spirit Education Trust, which is regarded
1:40.2	as one of the world's leading providers of wine education. When I moved to Italy, I worked
1:46.2	on some wineries in Tuscany and in Piedmont, where I also did my first wine harvest. In Italy,
