Ep 115
What if the wine industry’s diversity problem isn’t a lack of people but a lack of acknowledgment?
Today, I have Anaïs and Rachel from AniChe Cellars back on the podcast and they are sharing their honest take on representation in the wine industry. They share why true diversity in wine goes beyond who owns the winery as well as how much of the industry’s skill, labor, and soul is often overlooked. They reflect on Rachel’s time with the Washington Wine Commission, the systemic issues that still exist, and the shifts needed to make wine more equitable and accessible.
They also take us behind the scenes of their sparkling winemaking process, from bottle fermentation and hand-riddling to the hands-on care behind every release. Plus, Rachel and Anaïs each share their top three wine picks for anyone wanting to try AniChe wines, along with their favorite food pairing that says it all: salty and bubbly!
So, if you’re curious about how winemakers are reshaping the future of wine and want a look inside a Washington winery that is doing things differently, this episode is for you!
And don’t miss part 1 of my conversation with Rachel and Anaïs of AniChe Cellars!
