In this episode of Good Enough for Now, we hear from Kira Ballotta, a finance professional-turned-winemaker whose curiosity led her to volunteer for a local winemaker on the weekends. Learning more about the clients she was working with ended up launching her into entrepreneurship.

 

Once Kira got her hands dirty and learned the science behind making wine, she discovered ways to bring her passion, giving back to the community, into her winemaking so the long start-up runway felt more fulfilling to her. Along the way, Kira also became a parent and found herself struggling to manage her time at home and at work.

 

Tune in to hear Kira share about how she balances early motherhood with a demanding schedule and why telling women’s stories is an integral part of her wine labels.
