FRONTDOORS MAGAZINE | 73 KITCHEN DOO RS Valley women are redefining how we taste and gather BY SHOSHANA LEON A NEW WAVE OF WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS is reshaping the wine scene in the Valley, trading stuffy tasting rooms for approachable bottle shops and community-focused wine bars. These are the spaces where friendships are forged, palates are expanded, and everyone is welcome. GenuWine, Downtown Phoenix Former teachers Emily Rieve and Lindsey Schoenemann left their careers in Gilbert to pursue a new path. On a trip to France in 2016, Rieve saw a self-serve wine tasting system. She pitched the idea to Schoenemann, and the pair opened GenuWine Arizona two years later. The business carries a selection of Arizona wines, local beers and food, but for Rieve and Schoenemann, it’s about more than the pour. “We wanted to create a place where people come in and immediately feel welcome,” Rieve said. “We’re very lucky to not only have each other to lean on, but also many other women business owners surrounding us.” The pair feels empowered to be a women-owned business. “We’ve worked very hard to accomplish what we have and the community that we have built,” Schoenemann said. genuwinearizona.com She Who Wines Wins Courtesy of GenuWine
