VINTERVIEW: Innovation and Technology in the Wine Space with Liz Mendez

Send us a message and we always repsond!

From corner bars to Michelin stars, Liz Mendez hails from the Midwest and over the years has developed a portfolio career in wine, tech, and radio, spending three decades immersed in the restaurant industry. She is an award-winning sommelier and a previous owner of a Chicago wine bar, though she hit the reset button when she began working in hospitality technology with American Express and their platform "Resy".

Liz is passionate about the immense opportunities within the zero-proof world and inclusive hospitality, which she writes about in her newsletter, The Luncheonette - which you can find at luncheonette.substack.com (link below in the description of this episode.)

Liz is also the founder of Aldea Hospitality + Productions, an agency that works with businesses, retail, and restaurants to reimagine the power, reach, and impact of hospitality as a community-driven art and craft.

And Liz is here to talk to us today about her ideas involving Innovation and Technology within the Wine space, a subject we bonded on over at Substack, and we have a lot to talk about.
