Who's Behind The Grape Grind?

I’m Kendeigh! (pronounced “Kendy”)

I created The Grape Grind in 2017 to make wine varieties and tasting more inviting, empowering, and connected in an industry that can often feel divided between seasoned collectors, selective sommeliers, exam-focused students, and curious beginners. I believe we can all learn from each other! My goal is always to blend the curiosity and fun of exploring wine, while honoring the in-depth knowledge and nuance that makes every bottle unique! Here, wine terms become approachable, tasting notes feel personal, confidence grows, and learning is both inspiring and connected!

The wine world is smaller than you think!

Partnering with industry leaders is what fuels us!

Whether it’s providing wine education experiences, special deals for tasters, behind-the-scenes access, or just meeting inspiring, motivated people, we enjoy partnering with great minds in this vibrant industry.

If you share our passion for wine tasting and education, we’re always interested in exploring meaningful collaborations. Let’s explore ways we can create value together!
