Meet Megan
Every bottle opened is a journey and a chance to discover the place, the people and the culture that gave birth to the wine inside.
What’s the bottle that got you into wine?
A Vintner’s Reserve 2001 from Veritas Vineyards in Afton, Virginia. This delicious blend of red Bordeaux varieties was made in an old-world style and it piqued my curiosity. I got a job in the Veritas tasting room, and the rest is history. Thank you, Andrew and Patricia.
What made you change your career to go into wine?
My fear of regret. I realized that by helping fill the world with plastic, I wasn’t doing the planet or myself any favors. After much soul searching, my heart told me to go to France and work in wine. I’ve never looked back and I don’t regret a minute.
