The Vine Vol. 2 “Wine Plugz”

Like all things at Copper Rose Wine, The Vine started as a seed of an idea that has now bloomed into two issues (with more to come!). Ariza and I both have our own creative pursuits; she an illustrator, and I a writer. We wanted to bring those passions into our day job and find a way to celebrate the behind-the-scenes of our industry.

Our first issue focused on Women of the Wine World, because even in an industry that has been deemed “girly,” in some spaces, women have yet to be taken as serious vignerons despite their contributions for as long as wine has been made.

Our second issue, “Wine Plugz,” celebrate the people who schlep dozens of wines across the state for buyers like myself to try, scrutinize, and question, just in the hopes that we will buy a few bottles of juice to bring to our customers. These Sales Reps are the modern door-to-door salespeople that may get a few doors slammed in their face, all because they believe in what winemakers wants to share with the world.

Ariza and I collaborate on these issues in our off-time, reach out to our friends in the industry to invite them to contribute, test layout, write and illustrate every issue all ourselves. All to see a piece of wine ephemera in the hands of our customers, to weave the industry a little bit closer together.

We hope you will join us October 24, at 7:00 pm for the release of our latest issue of The Vine, “Wine Plugz.”

There will be a DJ, food by Chef Nico of Contrary Foods, and us, the creators of The Vine.

Salud & see y’all there,

Ana & Ariza
