Meet Daniela
You're the happiest when you're the most present, and I think you can achieve that with a great bottle. Let's uncork the magic of the moment together.
What’s the bottle that got you into wine?
A bottle that nearly stopped my heart was a natural Syrah by Hervé Souhaut in the Rhône Valley. It was peppery, floral and earthy. I was intrigued that anything could smell so amazing. My love affair with the Rhône began that evening.
Tell us about your favorite wine trip.
During a trip to Italy taken on a whim, my mother and I ended up at the castle of a baron in Chianti. True story: he invited us to sit in his ornate drawing room while his butler brought us wine... and Cheetos. He was enamored with American snack foods.
