We're joined by Tyler Balliet, a wine pro who has spent 20 years changing the way Millennials and Gen Z experience wine. (Remember Rosé Mansion? Yeah, she started that.) She's also one of the few out trans women in the wine industry. We chatted with Tyler about how her transition–and hormone replacement therapy, specifically–has changed the way she experiences wine, and revealed to her how the industry is failing to make products with women in mind. Tyler told us her take on the "Gen Z is drinking wrong" hysteria, the fascinating history behind the war on sweet wine, and why this June will be an especially meaningful Pride month for her.
