Hey you wild women!

My next guest is an 18-year hospitality professional, Master Sommelier candidate, and e-commerce entrepreneur who co-founded the digital wine service, Palate Club. Beyond leading the international wine buying for the team, Aubrey used her experience of tasting 100s of wines each year to identify over 200 wine traits—the core data that Palate Club uses to expertly match wines to your taste.

Aubrey Terrazas is a wine educator and journalist that champions sustainability and up-and-coming regions for publications such as SommJournal and GuildSomm.

What it means to be a wild woman:

"Not having to apologize for wanting the things you want, no matter what those things are. Being brave and asking for the space that you need, and just being truthful about what your truth is and being confident and comfortable with that." - Jessica Korthuis
