The Raclette Social: A Two-Year Anniversary Party 🇨đź‡đź«•đźŤ·đźŞ©
|
Cheese bubbles under a heat lamp, melting softly at the edge. Someone scrapes it onto your plate over sliced potatoes. You eat it standing up, glass in your other hand, in a room full of people doing the same thing.
That's the night. Two years of DECANT, and we're marking it with Raclette melting and wine pouring from a country that keeps almost all of it for itself.
Featuring Swiss wines from DDI Wines and Cheese from Nicasio Valley.

Let's talk about mentorship
|
Specifically: how bad we all are at actually asking for it.
The last two years, while opening DECANT Napa, I went quiet. I pulled back from a lot of the outreach and mentoring I used to do for folks coming up in this industry. I had to, because my own mental health and this business needed all of me.
But when we closed DECANT SF this summer, something shifted. I found myself needing to reach out, to talk to friends who've been in my corner for years, and to seek opinions and experience from folks I'd call mentors (even though half of them would probably blush at the word). Talking to them felt embarrassingly good, honestly, like I'd forgotten I was allowed to talk about my career with others.
This wine industry, this valley, is going through it right now (I don't need to tell you that). We need a network of people to talk to more than ever. So even though I spend a lot of my time handing out guidance, I had to remember: I need it too.
That's why DECANT is partnering with Bâtonnage Forum for weekly pop-in mentoring, starting this month with author, speaker, and global wine educator Elaine Chukan Brown. I hope you'll join us, because it's never too late or too early in your career to find someone to confide in or ask questions of.

Drop-in for Office Hours with Bâtonnage mentor Elaine Chukan Brown, plus special monthly guests. Pop-in for mentorship and connection, no agenda required. Come with a question or come with nothing at all. Talk shop, get advice, or just be around people who get it. Grab a glass from the DECANT somms and stay a while.
