Goodbye Traveling Vineyard, Hellooooo New Possibilities!
17.5 years
$350,000 in wine sold personally in the last 10 years alone (I estimate at least $500K with my first 4+ years added in),
over $12.6 M in sales from my team in the last 10 years
630+ team members at our peak (and well over 1000 have come and gone through the years)
18 earned incentive trips
5 elite leader trips around the world
Gone.
It was announced yesterday that Traveling Vineyard (as we have come to know it) has closed. A new company is emerging that will offer "our" most popular, sweet wines (Fissata, Fissata Blonde, and Double Date). As I learn more, I'll let you know. But it will be sales only. No teams. And it is out of my control.
I'm grateful for what cannot be taken away:
- enough wine knowledge to earn the CSW distinction
- countless friends and fun, including the best, long-lasting friendships that have stood the test of time (and hangovers)
- the partnerships with brilliant women and opportunity to learn more from them
- the flexibility to spend time with my parents in their last years of life
- the confidence and intestinal fortitude gained from rebuilding. Again.
I'm not sure what's next for me, but I know it will be bigger and better than before. It always is. I truly appreciate all of you, my friends. I'm so grateful for the memories of these past 17.5 years and look forward to new memories...wherever and however they arise.
In the meantime, if you've loved Traveling Vineyard wines (who didn't?!) Traveling Vineyard is offering a 25% discount while the bottles last. And I'll earn an affiliate commission on these sales when you order through my link. It doesn't replace the income lost, but it will be much appreciated (every little bit helps)!

Thank you from the bottom of my glass! For everything.
