Now that Dry January is over, it's time to warm up in February with some delicious wine and check out our first episode of 2026 featuring Erin Reddan from ECR Vintners.
Erin Reddan is the founder of ECR Vintners, a woman-led wine company dedicated to redefining the wine industry by creating refined, approachable wines crafted with women’s preferences in mind. While building a successful career in healthcare, Erin pursued her love of wine, earning her WSET Level 3 certification and diving into wine education.
Based in New York City, ECR Vintners sources grapes from premier California vineyards to produce small-batch wines —crisp whites, balanced reds, and sparkling wines perfect for any occasion.
But ECR Vintners is more than just a wine company. It’s about building confidence, fostering connection, and empowering women to explore their tastes. Through thoughtfully designed events, engaging tastings, and approachable wine education, Erin inspires confidence and curiosity, inviting guests — whether a wine novice or connoisseur — to explore their palates and discover wines they truly love. Her wines are inspired by the moments that matter: meaningful conversations, laughter-filled evenings, and unforgettable memories.
