Girls Gone Wine

In 2005, the three of us loaded up for a fun girl's trip to Dallas. You know the drill..Shopping, wine, massages, wine. While there, we took in a downtown winery that offered the option to make your own wine. We decided to go for it! We made two batches of wine, and after returning to bottle, cork and foil it, we thought, Hey! Let's do this in Hochatown!" So we did. The doors opened on April Fool's Day (not a joke) in 2006. Our plan was simple and honestly we never meant this to be a "real" business. We had no formal business plan but we locked arms and dove into a partnership with a mission to have fun – fun with customers; fun with wine; fun with each other and our employees. AND if the business didn't succeed the plan was to get a pink leather sofa and a TV to watch chick flicks. If no customers came we would drink the wine and watch rom-coms. Good plan
