From City Hall to Shared Wine Stories
For Tammy de Weerd, who served as mayor of Meridian for 16 years, a retirement of speaking engagements and consulting shifted with one glass of wine. “My husband and I have been traveling the world by wine region for the last two-and-a-half decades,” she said. “And we were sitting in South Africa at an old winery, and we were drinking an incredible wine that had an inspiring story. That was when our vision for our Spoken Wines business venture was born.”
