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.

Rifino Valentine on a collab vodka, facing big challenges, and a special copper pot still
Rifino Valentine, president and founder of Valentine Distilling Company is back on the podcast. He catches Trish up with all the cool things he's been up to, including a collab vodka with former football player and "CBS Mornings" anchor, Nate Burleson. There's a bit of controversy over whether or not Trish saw his company on "CBS Mornings" (Rifino says no, Trish says yes), but they figure it out. Rifino talks about why quality is so important to not only him, but really it's the foundation of his entire business. He introduces everyone to a very special copper pot still and tells the story of how it got its name. He shares the challenges his business has been facing, but is excited about some new things on the horizon.
