In this episode Alex & LP chat with Liz and Emily, co-hosts of The Fine Line Podcast about mental health, our experiences as women in the industry, seeing a therapist, and how much we love canned wine. At The Fine Line Balancing: Hedonism & Health, we interview people we admire both inside and outside the wine business to learn how they balance their love of food, wine & travel with their health and wellness, both physical and mental.

Liz Willette Danneels first developed a love of wine while working for the luxury travel company, Butterfield & Robinson. After a year in Burgundy and five years in Italy, she taught herself about wine mainly by buying the best bottles she could afford, studying them, and (of course) drinking them.
After running a wine bar in a Relais & Châteaux Hotel in the Dolomites in Northern Italy, she moved to New York City to work for David Bouley and then for importer/distributor Michael Skurnik as a sales representative in Manhattan. In 2004, she struck out on her own, building a book of small producers from the Northern Rhone, Burgundy, and Santa Barbara.
In 2011, Willette Wines merged with another small distributor, Grand Cru Selections. Together they grew the company until Liz left in 2017 to move to Colorado with her family. Craving a life outside of Manhattan, she moved to Boulder, where she is a partner at Natural Wine Company.
Emily Gold grew up cooking and drinking wine with her parents and four older siblings, always relishing the time together as well as the education. In 2012, Emily eagerly accepted a job with Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant in their office located in Beaune, France. There, she was able to meet winemakers, learn about regions around France and Italy, and become versed on the ins and outs of importing some of the most respected icons in the industry.
In 2014, Emily returned to Boulder to open a restaurant and wine bar called PMG (“Pour Ma Gueule”, a term used by French winemakers to reference the wine bottles they stash away for drinking with their family and friends). PMG offered organic and locally-sourced food, dishes inspired by France and Italy, and organic and biodynamic wines. After six years of being a solo small business owner, Emily sold her business in 2020.
