I’ve been reflecting on how great an influence the women in my life have had on my growth as a person and as a wine merchant. I am a triplet with two sisters, and we shared everything (sometimes begrudgingly). But today I still feel the raw excitement to share a new wine discovery with everyone. I am privileged to work with so many talented women in this business, with the best sales reps, and distributors in my corner, finding me incredible wines.
