This fall, my startup endeavor Woman–Owned Wineries launched a wine club highlighting some of my very favorite female wine entrepreneurs. Our current feature spotlights winemaker and social entrepreneur Ashley Trout. 

Ashley’s most recent endeavor Vital Winery is based 100% on donations–-from the fruit to the bottles to the labels. All profits support a health clinic primarily serving winery workers. In light of my own experience with philanthropic brand s i r s e e , it’s clear why Ashley’s work interests me.

Check out my interview with Ashley here. If you dig it, sign up for the wine club too.
