Radio Imbibe is the audio home of Imbibe magazine. In each episode, we dive into liquid culture, exploring the people, places, and flavors of the drinkscape through conversations about cocktails, coffee, beer, spirits, and wine.

Trained as an engineer and while working toward her MBA, Cha McCoy made an unexpected detour into a career in the wine world. For this episode, we talk with her about what led her into working as a sommelier and wine educator; the ways she approaches wine education; and her new role as beverage director for the Charleston Wine + Food Festival, taking place March 2-6, 2022.
