Hi Richard,
I hope you’re doing well. I’m Isabelle and am working with a small, boutique luxury Napa wine brand. We’re looking to collaborate with a small group of creators who align with our ethos around craftsmanship and intentional living.
We’ve been following your content for some time and are genuinely impressed. Your depth of knowledge and clarity around wine education is something rare, and it’s clear you have an audience that values your perspective.
I’m reaching out to see if you’re currently open to partnerships with wine brands. If so, I’d love to learn more about what those opportunities typically look like. Do you happen to have a media deck or partnership overview you’d be willing to share?
Looking forward to exploring ways we might collaborate.
Thanks,
Isabelle
