Item Description

About Scout & Cellar: Sarah Shaddonix is an attorney-turned-sommelier who has dedicated her life to taking the headaches out of great wine.

We mean that figuratively and literally. We’re all familiar with the stress and frustration associated with wine shopping—What pairs with what? How much should I spend? Is this brand any good?—and the sheer uncertainty of an untrained, uninformed selection. But moreover, we’re familiar with the more-consistent-than-clockwork morning-after migraine that accompanies a night of wine consumption. It’s arguably the most prevalent drawback to drinking wine at all. Sarah is all-too familiar with this feeling.

Ironically, it started while she was studying to become a sommelier. What started as a glass of wine to accompany long nights of cramming would eventually materialize into an unbearable headache the next day. Sarah knew something was off. A single glass shouldn’t lead to pain of this magnitude. So she began doing some research of her own. She spoke with renowned naturopathic physicians, and she consulted with vintners. Eventually, she discovered the source of these headaches: the up-to 300 chemical additives imbued in almost all mass-produced wine. Yeah. 300. Crazy, right?

This is where the fun began. Once Sarah stumbled upon the truth about mass-produced wine, she promised to discover and deliver a cleaner, healthier, better option. “Chemicals belong in a swimming pool,” she’d say. “Wine should be as natural as possible.”
