More about today’s guest
Sheila Donohue founded Vero (www.verovino.com) in 2018 as a second career after 30 years in Fintech. Italy has been a home for her since 2001, which is where she became a sommelier and got to know many small wine and olive oil farmer-artisans whose products were not available in the US market. She saw an opportunity to give small wine and food producers a platform to be discovered with Vero, splitting time between her home in Bologna, Italy and in the US, mainly SoCal where Vero is headquartered. She's a Vinitaly Italian Wine Ambassador since 2019.
