Lisa Lee from The Tasting Room on 9th. Pt. 3

Explore the journey of building an upscale wine bar, from concept to opening, with insights on overcoming challenges and embracing creativity.

Lisa Lee from The Tasting Room on 9th joins us to spill the tea on what it really takes to launch an upscale wine bar. We dive into the nitty-gritty of her journey, from scouting the perfect location downtown to transforming a vanilla shell into a classy spot for wine and craft cocktails. Lisa shares how she navigated the challenges of being a woman in business and made sure her voice was heard, all while balancing her accommodating nature with the need to be bold. And trust me, her stories about the overwhelming joy (and chaos) of receiving her first wine delivery are downright relatable! So, grab a glass and join us as we toast to dreams turning into reality, one sip at a time.
