Women and the Drinks Biz
Owning an alcohol business is tough! Let's talk about it! I will take you through my journey of starting South City Ciderworks in SF and delve deep into the details of creating a product, building a market, and educating consumers about cider. But it’s not just my story of being a woman in this male-dominated industry that I want to tell. You’ll hear from other ladies inside and outside the biz as well! Join me on this wild ride whether you're looking to start an alcohol business, work in the alcohol industry, or are just interested in what goes on behind that glass you just ordered at the bar. Slainte!

Behind the Scenes: Central Coast Cider Festival
Every year COVID aside the Central Coast of California cider community comes together to host an amazing event so aptly named: the Central Coast Cider Festival. The event showcases ciders from all over the state, poured by the producers themselves. There’s music, and food trucks, and did I mention tons of cider? If you’re nearby, check it out. If you’re not look around and you might find one just like it nearby. For this episode I sit down with the planning team to share all about why it started, why these festivals are important, and what it’s like putting one on. We’re heading behind the scenes of a cider event!
Central Coast Cider Festival - AUGUST 12th 4pm-8pm
