This episode features a conversation recorded live at The Vine Club in Atlanta, GA with Suzanne Denevan-Brown, the Show Runner / Estate Director for a US importer and exporter of fine wines called Maze Row Wine Merchant. Maze Row represents a curated collection of wines from artisan producers around the world. Suzanne’s first ever wine job was at Tower Beer, Wine, and Spirits in Atlanta, GA, but now she leads the Maze Row brand platform designed to build a community connected by a love for wine and wine culture. Her role involves leading the integrated marketing, planning, and execution for their 11 partner Estates, driving market share growth and building equity. She also publishes VOICES, a bi-annual publication that explores the intersection of wine and culture. With almost 20 years of experience in the wine and spirits industry, her professional expertise spans supply chain, distribution, advertising, promotion, media, and experiential marketing. Suzanne holds an MBA in Finance and Marketing, along with certifications as a Certified Specialist of Spirits, Certified Sommelier, and Certified Specialist of Wine, reflecting her dedication to continuous learning and professional development. Throughout the episode, we taste a flight of wines that she brought specifically to highlight components of her wine journey and speak to the type of family-owned estates that she gets to communicate about across the country. We have some fun with blind tasting, I try to win a tee time at Pebble Beach, and we laugh about our mutual roots, crazy enough, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
