Erin Reddan | Women’s Palates Change the Wine Game

Ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about wine? In this empowering episode of Diana Prince Lives Next Door, host Angela Acosta sits down with Erin Reddan—founder of ECR Vintners and champion of women’s voices in the wine industry. Erin shares her inspiring journey from healthcare professional to wine entrepreneur, revealing how she built her brand without owning a vineyard and why California wine has long missed the mark for women’s preferences. No more getting lost in wine jargon or feeling left out at the tasting table—Erin’s mission is deliciously clear: small-batch, California wines designed for real women, real lives, and real confidence.

Tune in as Angela and Erin unpack the centuries-old biases that shaped wine culture, spotlighting how women are finally claiming their space as wine lovers, makers, and connoisseurs. Discover why most “Chardonnay haters” are secretly obsessed with stainless steel Chardonnays—and why giving yourself permission to simply enjoy your glass (without being a snob) is revolutionary. Plus, get a taste of Erin’s wine education experiences, which blend joy, learning, and camaraderie, especially for women who’ve ever felt outnumbered or overlooked at tastings.

Whether you’re sipping dinner on the couch or planning your next adventure, this episode will inspire you to claim your wonder—and your wine—with boldness and authenticity.
