"Make sure that what you're doing is wildly different from everyone else." 🍷
In this episode, Maureen sits down with Erin McMurrough, founder of Little Clover W**e Company, to talk tasting rooms and quickly gets to the heart of what makes one actually work.
It's easy to point to nuance: a different grower relationship, a slightly different method, a subtle spin on tradition. Those things matter. But as Maureen points out, nuance alone won't get a consumer to your door.
When Erin shares her trailer and pop-up concept, Maureen runs with it, connecting the dots between differentiation, mobility, and brand recognition in real time. That's what makes her such a compelling host: she doesn't just ask good questions, she helps guests see the bigger strategy inside their own idea.
