Welcome! Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just starting to explore, I’m so glad you’re here. This Wine Thing isn’t just about what’s in your glass—it’s about creating moments, sparking connections, and finding joy in the everyday sip. Think of this space as your cozy corner of the internet for all things wine, wellness, and community.
My Mission is Simple:
To help you sip with purpose, laugh a little more, and build something meaningful—one glass at a time.
I believe wine should be fun, clean, and approachable. Through This Wine Thing, I share curated wine picks, entertaining tips, and lifestyle inspiration that makes enjoying wine feel effortless, whether you’re hosting a gathering or unwinding solo after a long day.
But more than that—I want to help you build a life you don’t need a vacation from. Through wine, community, and entrepreneurship, you can create connection, freedom, and fulfillment.
My Story
After 24 years in the military and a lifetime of moving, I found something steady and meaningful in the simple act of sharing wine with others. What started as a passion quickly turned into a purpose—connecting women, building community, and launching a business that blends authenticity with opportunity.
I chose the world of wine because it aligns with how I live: intentionally, transparently, and with joy. I also chose to build a wine business because I believe in helping others do the same—whether it's creating extra income, building confidence, or simply finding your people again.
When I’m not sipping and sharing, you’ll find me outside with my daughter, hanging with our pets, or working on creative projects (probably with a glass of rosé in hand).
This Wine Thing is for you if you love great wine, good people, and big dreams.
Let’s raise a glass to all three. Cheers!
