She's doing it all, folks! When Meg Rulli says she's the woman behind Flipturn Cellars - she means it. There's no one else really. Meg is seeking out cool, interesting varietals, picking up the grapes, making the wine, and doing everything from that point to put wine in the bottle, not to mention market it, distribute it, etc. We're exhausted just thinking about it.
Meg says studying abroad in Barcelona in college really opened her eyes to the world of wine and when she and her husband left their corporate jobs to travel for a year, she knew it was something she wanted to, at least, pursue. When they set up camp in Portland, Oregon - being near the Willamette Valley solidified those plans.
Meg says she's intentionally independent and small and as of right now, has no plans to get any bigger. She likes the freedom to be able to "chase inspiration," and enjoys being the one to make the decisions - the good, the bad and the ugly. She and Trish talk about the grit it takes when you're slinging your passion... and what's on the horizon for Flipturn Cellars.

Renee Guilbault on (Uncle) Harry Hamlin, her responsibility as a chef, and ditching the microwave
Fascinating and inspiring interview with Renee Guilbault! Renee is a chef, author, CEO of "The Open Food Company" and co-host of cooking show, "In the Kitchen with Harry Hamiln." From an early age, Renee says she understood the importance of food and that it wasn't just something to put in our guts. At 17, she dropped out of high school and started working in the food industry. She landed a fairly significant job - one she didn't think she was quite ready for (thank goodness for positive mentors) before she decided culinary school in France was the next move for her. She was 100% positive a job in a fine dining restaurant was going to be the ultimate for her, but turns out, she couldn't leave fast enough. Renee talks about the opportunities that came her way, the huge responsibility she carries as a chef to make sure she's putting the right food message out in the world, and her latest adventure with Uncle Harry Hamlin - in the kitchen cooking together (episodes streaming on AMC+). Renee is on a mission to see "a world well-fed" and we couldn't be happier to help spread the word.
