Meet the Wine Diva

As the name implies, it's our mission here at Cheap Fun Wines to find cheap wines for the masses, but we also like to offer other kinds of information as well. Just because you put a $20 spending cap on your wine purchases doesn't mean you don't need good solid advice on how to choose it wisely. That's why it's sometimes nice for you to have access to an honest-to-goodness wine professional instead of amateurs with big aspirations.

That's where Christine Ansbacher comes in. She's one of only 180 Certified Wine Educators in the states, she's forgotten more about wine than we'll ever know, and she's known around town as the Wine Diva. Sounds pretty intimidating, but we found this snippet from the newly started Wine Diva blog that we thought was very down to earth - "her credentials are daunting but her ethic is simple: people just want to know how to select and enjoy a good bottle of wine." The blog offers lots of great tips, from Christine's POV on corks vs screw caps to pairing wine with savory foods. She has also recently released a book called Secrets from The Wine Diva (available at Amazon), which we'll be receiving soon, so expect a review.

Also, we've been in touch with Christine and we're hoping to set up something in the 20 questions format, so if you have any questions you'd like to ask a Certified Wine Educator, shoot them to us at:

This book is great! I love the simple wine tips in this book and the way it doesn't over complify the world of wine.
