Always love talking to someone who makes something happen, especially if it’s related to wine, My guest this week fits the bill! Joining me from Tulsa is Betsy Hendershot founder and driving force behind Downward Dog Wines.
Female entrepreneur, Betsy Hendershot, of Tulsa, Oklahoma took notice as her 4 year old Cock-a-Poo performed an ever familiar stretch as she was preparing to leave for her morning yoga class. It just so happened that she was actively searching for a name for a current project- a proprietary wine label that would set an example for quality wine at a value price in the boxed wine segment.
Downward Dog Wine is custom blended to perfection using grapes grown in the some of the most prestigious valleys wine country has to offer. The mission; to create great tasting wines by focusing on single varietal options as well as beautiful fun loving blends. From wine snobs to sweet seekers, there is something for everyone.
Betsy says the goal is to change the way people perceive boxed wine by producing wines that will exceed your expectations but not your budget. We encourage you to explore the true benefits of wine in a box. Not only is it more friendly to our environment, it lasts longer after being opened (30 days longer)! Each box can serve one person as conveniently as it can serve 20. Drink it, share it, serve it and even cook with it. Most importantly, enjoy it!
