27. Let's Toast It Up: A Beginners Guide to Wine with Monique Copeland and Roberta Hatchett

Confession: I am not a wine lover. But my guests on today’s episode want to change my mind about that. #MoniqueColeman, a certified sommelier, and #RobertaHatchett, a bohemian lifestyle curator, are the owners of VinBoheme, a wine and decor shop based in Washington, DC. 

I’ll be honest, I walked away from our conversation with a greater appreciation for the “art” of drinking wine. It was fun and I learned so much. 

This episode starts with a great discussion and ends with a mini-wine tasting.

About My Guests:
VinBohême is based in Washington, D.C. and owned by two women of color. The concept of “Vin” represents our love of good wine and “Bohême” is the easeful home life we all desire and deserve. We offer select wines and accessories that make for a warm and inviting home, and feature women, BIPOC and sustainable/low intervention wine and décor makers. Each item is personally selected by us and can be found on our website vinboheme.com.

Monique Copeland is co-owner and resident certified sommelier of VinBohême. She is also certified in food and wine pairing and enjoys educating wine lovers looking to elevate their palate with wine at reasonable price points. 

Roberta Hatchett has spent the last 20 years working in marketing and advertising and has decided to add entrepreneur to her resume. She’s both an aficionado of wine and décor, but holds a special passion for making a house (or apartment!) a home.
