Sophie Gray and her husband James bought and renovated a 7,000 square foot property with 5 acres of grapes, and had no intention to start a winery. But just a few years later they launched Sophie James, a small family wine brand. Sophie has been key in creating very unique experiences at the property, growing the brand's identity and its following.

During this episode, we talk about the origin of the winery - how it started, the growing pains, and how they have grown their tribe or wine club. We also talk about finding her identity after leaving one industry, transitioning to motherhood and then starting the wine brand. We discuss how she sets boundaries and how she has utilized Instagram to connect with consumers and grow the brand identity. There is a lot packed into this episode and very inspiring for anyone who wants to start their own brand. Let me know your thoughts below.
