Women + Wine

Intown’s new columnists will introduce unique flavors,

By Sarah Pierre and Katie Rice

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend your entire workday learning and tasting wine: meeting winemakers, chatting with wine lovers, and mastering food and wine pairings?

Well, we’d like to introduce ourselves. We are Sarah Pierre and Katie Rice, good friends, long-time Atlanta residents, and both wine shop owners. This column was created to share our stories and give a little behind the scenes into the wine industry. Our goal is to answer all the questions that you may have, but never felt comfortable asking.

Let’s start by answering question number one: No, we do not drink wine all day. But we do taste wine all day; small sips that we spit out after we’ve evaluated the flavors of wines and seeing if they would be a good fit for our clients. It’s all for education, right? And yes, we do have our favorites, but our intentions are always to introduce unique, interesting wines to the masses – bonus points if they have a great story.

We had a similar career path and we would like to share our stories.
