Become the Wine Expert in Your Friend Group
Let me show you how!
Overwhelmed by what to order in a restaurant or wine bar?
Always grabbing the same bottle at the store?
Ready to try something new?
You’ve come to the right place
Welcome to ECR Vintners — a female owned, boutique wine company dedicated to crafting wines tailored to women’s palates.
What does that mean?
Do you find yourself asking for a wine that’s dry, has more minerality than fruit flavor, and not too full bodied? I got you!I know that women often gravitate towards crisp, light, high acid whites, or smooth low-tannin reds - perfect for pairing with meals OR enjoying solo. And don’t forget the bubbles!
ECR Vintners doesn’t just craft wines with you in mind - education is a main focus to help you explore your unique palate.
Through tastings and workshops, I want you to feel empowered to discover your preferences for long-term enjoyment.
Wine can be confusing, but with some exploration, you’ll quickly discover what you love. And what better way to learn about wine - and yourself - than by tasting and drinking more wine?

Hi, I’m Erin, founder of ECR Vintners - and your guide to becoming your own wine expert!
I had always dreamed of owning a vineyard but lacked the access and funds to do so.
Years ago, I began taking wine classes believing hard work and fate would guide me.
While teaching and working in a tasting room, I noticed the the male-dominated wine industry catered to men in terms of scoring, judging, and consumption.
I vowed to craft wine that is often more suitable to women’s palates, using grapes from premier vineyards instead of lesser quality ones to make cheap wines!
Without significant investors or owning a vineyard, I started the company with a focus on small-lot production to address this gap
Despite women’s strong purchasing power, a lot of premier wines are not made with their palates in mind.
ECR Vintners aims to change that.
“I thought I had to win the lottery to make my winemaking dreams come true…but I realized I am my own best lottery ticket”
Wine Education “Catered” to You!
From Host to Connoisseur - Level up Any Event
(with a tasting room in your room)
Always choosing the same wine? (cough, cough, Sancerre) Defaulting to a choice or recommendation by someone who doesn’t even know you?
You are your own best expert - let’s unlock your skills so you can start choosing your favorite wines - and build the confidence needed to do so!
I started with a barrel of Chardonnay and a barrel of Sauvignon Blanc but as my first few vintages took shape, I experienced the lack of wine education for women. Instead of being TOLD what to buy or marketed to I want you to learn your own palate and decide for yourself.
I’ve completed numerous wine courses, including WSET level 3, but my goal is to make wine more approachable for everyone without the need for formal courses.
Just as I’ve become the wine expert in my friend group, I want to help you become the go-to wine aficionado among your friends.
Ready to sip, learn and party? Let’s do this!
But how? So glad you asked…

Who is this for? Parties looking for wine to be served, but you want to do it with flare.
Think: elevated bartending while living out your own Somm movie. Everyone leaves the party happily imbibed - both in wine and in knowledge.
Learn With Me…
Learning is fun — especially when wine is involved! Ready to become the wine expert you always knew you could be? Minus the snobbery! Book ECR Vintners for a full wine tasting - think: tasting room in any room. I can join anything from a bachelorette party to networking event to corporate team building (in-person and virtually).

Everyone leaves with a tasting sheet and a deeper understanding of their wine preferences.
Shop With Me…
Enjoy shopping and making your own choices? Me too! All of the wine is sold directly to consumers and tasting sheets are provided to guide you through each wine, if you’d like to learn a bit while you sip.
