Sommelier Michi Negrón joins Platea to launch a monthly series aimed at demystifying the world of wine, sharing knowledge in an accessible and entertaining way.
Platea, the digital platform that connects us with the best of our island, is launching Un Sipi Con Michi, a monthly series on YouTube that aims to change the way Puerto Ricans relate to wine.
Led by Puerto Rican sommelier Michi Negrón, the series sets out to break the idea that wine is a serious or pretentious subject. With a fresh, approachable format, the monthly series will cover everything from tips for buying wine without spending a fortune to how to identify good wines, which pairings work best, and everything you always wanted to know but thought twice about asking.
For its debut, the series features a special guest: Davidcito, the beloved character created by actress Marisé "Tata" Álvarez Hernández, known as "El De La Voz Fina" and the "verdadero trap king."
In this first episode, which blends humor with learning, Davidcito explores the perfect pairing between wine and the different stages of love.
The episode captures genuine moments of discovery, as when Davidcito admits:
"Yo creo que el último blanco que yo me bebí se llama como Barefoot," to which Michi responds sympathetically: "Entiendo que esa experiencia no haya sido la más agradable."
With her characteristically relaxed style and deep knowledge, Negrón breaks with the traditional stereotypes of the wine world, making the experience accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
"El paladar es como un músculo," Negrón explains during the episode. 🍷
Her teaching style comes through clearly when Davidcito, after his first professional tasting, says excitedly: "¡Yo nunca había probado un vino tan rico, si te soy honesto!"
Negrón's experience, which also includes Canvas, at the Don Rafa Hotel, shows as she guides viewers through different selections, from an Italian Pecorino perfect for first dates to a Grower Champagne ideal for celebrating being single.
Her recommendations stay accessible, typically under $40 a bottle, with the reminder that a bottle yields five to six glasses.
Each month, Un Sipi Con Michi will bring in special guests who will learn alongside the audience about different aspects of wine, in a lighthearted and casual setting.
The series aims to build a community of wine enthusiasts who feel confident choosing, gifting or recommending wines for any occasion.
Episodes will premiere monthly on Platea's YouTube channel, and each video will explore different aspects of the wine world, from basic concepts to more advanced tasting techniques.
