Today we’re pouring and telling wine stories with former public servant turned wine shop owner, and all‑around wine geek, Michelle Lim Warner of DCanter Wine Boutique.

Located in Barracks Row, DCanter is a neighborhood destination where curious wine lovers can explore thoughtfully selected bottles.

Michelle shares how she built the business in this lively community, how locating in the Capitol Hill area informs her shop’s identity, and how DCanter highlights wines made by women winemakers (and other under­represented voices) as part of its curated global selection.

We’ll dive into the challenges of wine retail in a fast‑changing marketplace, trends that matter to serious and casual drinkers alike and the ways she’s helping customers engage with wine.

Join us for a conversation about wine, place and the people behind the bottles. Cheers! 🥂
