Give It A Shot – Empathy Wines 2018 Rosé
The New Oxford American Dictionary defines the word empathy as “the ability to imagine and understand the thoughts, perspective, and emotions of another person.” Depending on what dictionary you use, you will find slight variations of this interpretation, but they essentially say the same thing. This concept has never been more important than it is now. Being able to access the ability to empathize can help bring calm to most situations and offers the potential to bring people closer together. Entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk has long been a proponent of the concept of empathy, actually naming one of his companies Empathy Wines. In the summer of 2020, he sold that business to Constellation Brands just a year after it was founded. Vaynerchuk remained with Constellation after the deal closed as a consultant. A few weeks ago, Andrew received notice of a special deal to purchase a set of one of each of the wines they do: a red blend, a white blend, and a rose. This week we will begin our testing journey of those wines as we try the Empathy Rose. It is a blend of several different California wines and retails for $20. What did we think? What do you think? Let us know in the comments below or join us live on Thursday nights to give us your feedback while we are live streaming on Twitch.
