  • Be A Sommelier

    Lindsay, now part-owner of Rimessa Roscioli and co-founder of the Roscioli Wine Club, came to Rome 5 years ago while studying wine in Santa Barbara with the Court of Master Sommeliers.  She recognized that studying wine was about being completely immersed in it, not merely reading from books.  Wine and vineyards became her compass as she traveled the major wine regions of Spain, France and Italy on a 10-week solo vacation - ultimately landing her at a mind awakening wine tasting at Rimessa Roscioli and changing the complete direction in life.   More than being a sommelier focused solely on wine, she creates an experience for guests which allows wine to be a weaver of travel, humans, stories, culture, history, art, philosophy, discussion and shared experience - all of which have become the foundations of the Roscioli Wine Club.   ....

  • Run For Office

    Liz Sumner, a candidate for the 23rd Wisconsin Assembly District in 2018, is a Fox Point resident, small business owner, wife and mother of two small children.  Liz was born and raised in Milwaukee, spending her first years in the Sherman Park neighborhood before moving to Shorewood, where she attended Shorewood public schools and graduated from Shorewood High School. 

    Liz was lucky enough to spend two years abroad, one with her family during her sophomore year of high school in Utrecht, The Netherlands, and the other in Paris for her junior year of college.  After graduating from Marquette University with a BA in Political Science and French, she moved to Seattle where she explored the beautiful outdoors of the Pacific Northwest and fostered her love of fashion and retail. 

    Three years later, Liz returned to the Midwest, spending eight years in Chicago where she developed her management skills working for home furnishings retailer Z Gallerie and at The Boeing Stores, the retail marketing division of The Boeing Company.  In 2006, Liz graduated with an MBA from the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago with concentrations in Strategy and Finance.

    After graduation, Liz moved home to Milwaukee to open SHOP, a women's clothing and accessories boutique, with her business partner mom.  For the past 10 years, they have worked tirelessly to see their business, and other local businesses, succeed.  To that end, Liz served on the Shorewood Business Improvement District Board for 6 years where she helped steer marketing for the district and create successful events that brought people to the Village to eat, shop and explore.   

    Liz and her husband Nathaniel, also a small business owner, married in 2010 and purchased their home in Fox Point two years later.  Together they are raising their two small children, who will both be in the public school system next year and attending religious school at Congregation Shalom, where they are members.  In 2015, Liz was elected trustee to the Fox Point Village Board and was recently re-elected in the 2018 Spring elections.

    In the interview Liz mentions candidate training programs provided by Wisconsin Progress, Emerge, and Emily's List

  • Figure Out Social Media

    Shaily started doing social media for her hobby community in high school… ON MYSPACE. She didn't realize what she did was doing social media until after college when she saw a question on a job application asking if she had ever managed an online community, and she realized there was something there.

    She graduated from Indiana University with a degree and certification in elementary education K-6, and she now uses those mad teaching skills to lead workshops, work with business owners 1-on-1 training them on social media, and has coached 170+ B2B consultants on how to use LinkedIn to grow their business. She guides business on how to stay top of mind with their community and referral network using social media. I hold them accountable and boost their confidence in themselves, what they have to offer, and their own social media abilities. She loves live streaming, event social media, live Tweeting, and comment engagement.
