After 10 incredible years in the wine industry, I’ve decided it’s time to take a step back and begin a new chapter.
When I first entered this industry, I had no idea where the journey would take me. Over the years, I’ve experienced the highest highs and some of the toughest challenges. I’ve celebrated wins, learned from losses, navigated uncertainty, built brands, opened doors, and created opportunities that I never imagined possible.
Most importantly, I’ve met some truly amazing people along the way. What started as a career became a family. The friendships, mentorships, partnerships, and memories I’ve gained throughout this journey are things I will carry with me forever.
The wine industry taught me resilience. It taught me patience. It taught me how to build relationships, how to lead, and how to keep showing up even when the road wasn’t easy. For every challenge, there was a lesson. For every setback, there was growth. And for every success, there was a community of people who helped make it possible.
While I am retiring from this chapter of my wine career, this is not goodbye.
Bubbles & Bourbon isn’t going anywhere.
In fact, this is just the beginning. I’m choosing to move forward on my own terms, focusing on consulting, private events, beverage education, and creating unique experiences that bring people together. The passion is still there. The vision is still growing. The mission remains the same: building connections through hospitality, wine, spirits, and education.
To everyone who has supported me, worked alongside me, attended a class, purchased a bottle, trusted my recommendations, or simply cheered me on from afar l thank you. Your support has meant more than you’ll ever know.
I also miss my boutique/clothing line. It will always hold a special place in my heart. But sometimes growth requires us to turn the page and trust what’s waiting in the next chapter.
This isn’t the end of the story. It’s simply a new beginning.
Stay tuned—there’s so much more to come.
