In November I had the honor of meeting these fabulous ladies and hear them sing. new song dropped today on Spotify! We are here for empowering women in wine and beyond and their new song 'Shake the Ground' speaks for itself!

What peace it is we're keeping
By not speaking truth out loud
No justice without anger
There's no change without a sound
We're taking back our power
There's freedom to be found
If one voice can break the silence
Together we'll shake the ground

Hear the new song on Spotify or link to their IG for a clip!

Part 2:
As 2024 comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on a year filled with highs, lows, and unexpected challenges. The lingering effects of the post-COVID roller coaster have left many of us feeling unsettled, and the wine industry is no exception.

While I usually share a roundup of top wines from the year, health challenges meant I scaled back my tasting experiences. Instead, I’ve decided to share 5 things that I am the most excited about and 5 things I wish to change. As we turn the page to 2025, I’m ready to embrace new opportunities and leave behind what no longer serves us. Here’s to a year filled with growth, connection, and a bright future!

Let’s make 2025 unforgettable. Reply and share your “Best and Worst 5” of the year with me!

This month, we partnered with , a non profit dedicated to changing the conversation around menopause and helping women get better healthcare. We provided the wine for their Marvelous Mrs Menopause event in NYC, showcasing some of our favorite small producers for an audience of 200 smart, savvy, influential women. All the wines were a hit, and we were honored to participate.

We'd love to do the same for you. Shop our Belle & Bottle package in our crowdfunding campaign or on our website, and we'll bring the party to you. Easy! Link in bio 🍾

Laura had a game-changing moment when she decided that supporting women would be at the heart of Belle & Bottle’s mission. She launched the Foundation to fuel female entrepreneurs with the resources they need to thrive, and created the Wine Awards to amplify the voices of women in wine, giving them a powerful platform to shine.

Now, with our campaign, we're taking it even further—growing the company so we can continue delivering the finest small-production wines from across the globe straight to your door (or your must-try list 🍷).

There are some incredible rewards waiting for you when you contribute—don't miss out! Join the movement and toast to a future where women in wine take center stage 🍇✨

Meet the Founder, Part 2: Laura tells the story of starting the Belle & Bottle wine club with in-person winery visits around Washington. She brought her wine club members right to the heart of local wineries for exclusive tastings and pick-up parties. But when COVID hit, she pivoted - no retail space? No problem!

Laura took Belle & Bottle 100% online, bringing curated, top-notch wines to members' doorsteps. 💻📦✨ Featured as one of 's Top Wine Clubs to Join, the club flourished, proving that great wine experiences don’t always need a vineyard backdrop. 🏡🍷

Meet The Founder, Chapter 1: How Belle & Bottle came to life.

Belle & Bottle founder .huston started her company after working in the restaurant industry in Seattle. In partnership with the chef, she designed Wine Dinners as a way to expose customers to the incredible wines that were coming out of Washington State at the time.

The wine dinners were an instant hit and she realized that she was on to something - her customers loved gathering around the table to experience a fabulous food & wine pairing (who wouldn't?), but Laura knew that there was an entire world of wine that she could expose her customers to. An idea was ignited, and Belle & Bottle was created.

Join our crowdfunding campaign to support our work and grow Belle & Bottle so we can pay it forward by supporting female entrepreneurs. We've designed incredible rewards for you to explore, created to celebrate contributions at every level.

We're excited about the bottle of 2022 Mourvèdre that's included in the Fall wine club shipment. A grape that's been described as "ancient, dark, powerful, and brooding", Mourvèdre produces flavorful, bold reds when combined with Grenache and Syrah, but on its own it can be a medley of sweet dark fruit and savory notes that will take you on a serious wine adventure. Mourvèdre can have a higher alcohol content, so serving it slightly chilled can help balance out the flavors. 🍇
