How long have you had your business?
We launched Dec 6th
How did you get started?
The idea came from thinking about something I would want for myself and making it happen! I mean, who doesn’t want to try different wines that you will enjoy but yet struggles to move from your regular ones in fear of buying something you will not like.
Who or what inspires your work?
What inspires me most is making people happy! & succeeding in finding the perfect wine to match their profile in a varietal they might not even have known existed.
What do you dream for your business in the future?
My ideal goal is to be able to become country wide. We do our own deliveries in order to ensure safe and prompt delivery in the desired time our customers requite (delivery options listed on the website) which makes is hard to use a third party to deliver our wines in a different province for example.
What’s your favourite social media platform and why?
Instagram has been my favourite social media platform because people have shown to be very engaged and when a post about us is made we can see the increase in views of our site right away.
How do you pick yourself up when things go wrong?
Things will always go wrong. You have to be ready for them and react accordingly. There will always be solution to every problem. If you can’t find one right away, always remember that if one door closes, another is about to open.
What’s one thing no one knows about you? Give us an interesting fact!
As a child I always dreamt about being an artist – I started painting at age 5 and always saw myself pursuing that as a career. Unfortunately I did not see much opportunity for growth in that area. I have moved that to be a hobby rather than a career.
If you could have any super power what would it be?
To go anywhere at any time. I have family very far from me and that is the hardest part of life. Not being able to see the ones you love whenever you want.
