About The Founders

What do you get when you combine a Belgian-born DJ turned bar owner turned fitness entrepreneur, and DC transplant with Iowa farm girl roots and a boxer-mix rescue with a taste for the finer things in life? You get a family— the one behind every bottle from Sparkle-ist.

We’re not just another wine club. Our selections aren’t made with algorithms. They’re made with the same care our network of growers put inside every bottle. We’ve tasted every one ourselves and only choose the ones we’d happily open again and again. We want you to get to know sparkling wine and to get to know you in the process. We’ll help you discover what you love and delight in new flavors you never would have expected. We want you to learn to love sparkling wine in all of its complexities and varieties. And we’re here to show you the way.
