#brainstormcellars
In honor of #internationalwomensday (preemptively, March 8th) we present our Owner, Winemaker and resident flavor scientist bitch!
The story behind our name!
One of our favorite things about the craft beverage industry is the creativity generated through collaboration between producers & the inclusion of their friends, family & neighbors. In this spirit we looked to our friends, family & neighbors to help us come up with a name.
Every time we would sit down for a few drinks with someone this legal pad was pulled out. There are pages filled with great ideas that had already been taken as well as silly, ridiculous and really terrible ideas π
This went on for months! It was fun but Tiffany @punchdown_princess was starting to get discouraged, worried that a label will never get off the ground without a name. Then Tiffany had an epiphany! The name has been right there at the top of every single page filled with the ideas of those we love.
Duh! π§ β‘#brainstormcellars
Oh how rude of us! We have not taken the time to introduce ourselves in forever.
.
Partners in crime & now partners in the wine biz!
Owners Tiffany and Eric started Brainstorm Cellars in April of 2020.
.
Winemaker Tiffany (@punchdown_princess ) is a bad ass wine production cowgirl π©πΌπΎ, from grape to glass she's done it all. Her 9-5 is running QA/QC for a potato starch facility & in her free time she is on the executive board of the @awwawine.
.
Human Forklift Eric (@rubberduckten4 ) is a beerπΊ loving wine snob who sells crafting supplies by day & spends entirely too much time FaceTime drinking with his old rugby buddies by night. He likes to play with power tools and make every situation a fun one.
.
We want to do wineπ· differently. Leave your highfalutin, fancy pants ideas about wine at the door! Nerds and newbs are all welcome. We want to make wine fun, easy & delicious!!!!
.
P.S. They are not married, they've just been madly in love for the 15 years π
