Vintnerd - Melissa Jensen Wine

Making wine accessible, inclusive, & fun!

Vintnerd is a space where everyone can learn about wine. Especially you.

When we were studying wine, we got tired of old, white men dominating the wine world and telling us what we should like (did you know that the entire industry’s rating scale is based on the tastes of ONE GUY?!?). We wanted to create a space where anyone could learn how to speak the language of wine, break down the bullshit, and let you know how to buy and drink what you like. We’re not here to tell you what to drink, though we’re brimming with suggestions, but to empower you to find what you REALLY like, and not just drink what you already know.
