When Lorna Kipkosgei, who talks about wine culture on her YouTube channel, “Sip with Lornzie,” received a call from Joy Adero, asking her to join Team Wine Kenya for this year’s World Blind Tasting Championship, she found herself in an unfamiliar situation.
While she is confident as a wine influencer, indeed she is among the first people in the country to specialise in the area, that call from Joy had her wondering if her wine-tasting skills were good enough to go against seasoned sommeliers who could tell a wine just by smelling it. She need not have doubted herself nor her skills considering that her life revolves around wine – as captured in her YouTube channel.
