  • Good Clean Wine: Behind the Brand Changing What’s in Your Glass. Founders Michelle Feldman & Courtney Dunlop share how they built a clean wine brand that’s fun, friendly, and headache-free.
    This week on Made My Way, we’re thrilled to welcome Michelle Feldman and Courtney Dunlop, the powerhouse co-founders behind Good Clean Wine! These longtime friends turned entrepreneurs are shaking up the wine world with their clean, sustainable, and totally headache-free approach to vino.
    What started as a passion for wine—and a desire for transparency—evolved into a brand that’s all about celebrating the everyday moments (glass in hand, of course). With a commitment to minimal-intervention winemaking and sustainable sourcing, Michelle and Courtney are making wine fun, approachable, and a little less... fuzzy the next day.
