I am a sommelier, writer and entrepreneur based on Martha's Vineyard and Montreal. I co-founded Wine + Peace to rethink how we buy wine, and to help small producers thrive.Wine + Peace is a new kind of online wine shop — a curated selection of responsibly made wines from the best small producers in the country. Unlike other wine e-commerce sites, we’re not a retailer — we don’t buy from distributors or mark up our wines. Instead, we’re a marketplace that allows you to buy directly from independent wineries across the U.S. It’s a new, more transparent model that means sustainable profits for wineries, and better wines for customers.
