GUEST: Chief Revenue Officer of Wente Family Vineyards, Aly Wente O’Neal

Fifth-generation winegrower and Chief Revenue Officer of Wente Family Vineyards, Aly Wente O’Neal, joins Rae for a conversation about what it really looks like to grow a career, raise a family and help carry a 140+ year family legacy into its next chapter.

Aly shares the misconceptions of working with family, navigating motherhood alongside an evolving career, and why she and her sister decided to step behind the mic with their Wine Sisters Book Club podcast. Plus, they get into the challenges facing the wine industry today, changing consumer habits and how Wente is adapting while staying true to its roots.
