The Wine Buzzzz

Biography

Linda Kissam is a professional travel, food, and wine writer based out of Southern California. Through her persona as (one half of) The Wine Chixs and her Web site TheWineBuzzzz.com, her monthly radio guest spots,blogging and story placements in various publications, she reaches over a million readers/listners with each article. She specializes in easy, breezy destination stories sharing her favorite things about the places she visits. As she sips with the winemaker, dines with the chef, or shops with the gift concierge, she dishes out insights on the fabulous, the famous and the unforgettable. Whether riding the rails in Europe, hot air ballooning in Temecula, cruising on the Douro River, or being pampered at luxurious spas and resort, she's investigating the local buzz to provide her readers with tips on what to buy and what to try. Linda loves finding and sharing what makes each place she visits so special. Her time spent as a publicist for a well-known wine region taught her it's the story behind the product and the experience of the place that makes the trip memorable. She never knows if the story will end up being based on finding the perfect latte, ordering Pommes Frites with Parsley Butter in a small French bistro, searching for an Internet cafe in Sicily, or attending a wine seminar aboard a cruise ship. She never travels without a notebook, camera and a great pair of Brighton flats. She has an addiction to personable people, interesting wines, gourmet coffee, fabulous chocolate and spicy foods. Anyone who knows her will tell you that she loves traveling anywhere, by any means, and is somewhat obsessive about jewelry and a good taco.
