After the birth of their eldest son, Florence entered a time of introspection about her career. Business trips were taking her away from her family on a regular basis, and one of the wine brands she had built for eight years from the ground up, from conception to market execution, was suddenly cancelled by the company. She lamented where all of that equity went — the work and sweat and efforts, the time spent away from her newborn son. https://www.innovatorsofthevalley.com/blog-1-1/ryan-oconnell-is-an-adu-guru monthly 0.5 2025-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/a4dabba7-1c07-4de6-97db-9628788fe881/thumb+grant+update_2.36.2.jpg Blog - How Ryan O’Connell Became an ADU Housing Advocate After Co-Founding NakedWines.com - Make it stand out All images courtesy of Ryan O’Connell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/838dcd7a-6fd9-48b3-85df-8729538bbd97/Wine+discussion.jpeg Blog - How Ryan O’Connell Became an ADU Housing Advocate After Co-Founding NakedWines.com - “Video is really natural for me.

Agnes has rented one of the studio spaces, and will operate the collective as the “Chief Creative Officer + Artist Liaison.” Although the space is not as big as the art complex she left in LA, it will allow her to connect some of Napa’s creative community and support other local makers. The 100 Coombs Creative Collective will be up and running in September, and will include a shared community space for workshops. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/534eb10e-3624-4934-88e6-369ee6fe6ad6/Crave+Workshops+Travel+India+3+%282%29.jpg Blog - Crave: A Creative Experience Company with Agnes Pierscieniak https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/a24e2e06-8ad4-40a6-8160-41edfdf050c7/img20210927_00351593.jpeg Blog - Crave: A Creative Experience Company with Agnes Pierscieniak - This idea of connecting by making art together was something Agnes learned as a child. She grew up in San Francisco after her family moved from Poland as political refugees in 1985. When her grandmother would visit from Poland, they would take the bus to iconic destinations such as the Golden Gate Bridge and Lands End, to sit for hours painting together en plein air. “Sitting on a bench, painting with someone you care about, it doesn’t matter if the painting is good — it’s about the experience. And you appreciate the world around you because you are giving it more focus.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/a5eeac71-676a-4782-87ac-406889276426/Crave+Workshops+Travel+India+3.JPG Blog - Crave: A Creative Experience Company with Agnes Pierscieniak https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/0dc15c89-75d4-4569-8889-13553519bf3f/Amy-Thompson-Photography-5847.jpg Blog - Crave: A Creative Experience Company with Agnes Pierscieniak https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/2fb15bac-a044-4c0b-bc8c-0ff16df06955/Amy-Thompson-Photography-3310.jpg Blog - Crave: A Creative Experience Company with Agnes Pierscieniak - Make it stand out Photo credit Amy Thompson Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/ba67ff53-3d44-4e24-b460-3effffe3b0e4/Untitled+%281000+%C3%97+1000+px%29+%281%29.png Blog - Crave: A Creative Experience Company with Agnes Pierscieniak - Make it stand out Photo credit Tina Swain https://www.innovatorsofthevalley.com/blog-1-1/innovations-in-non-alcohol monthly 0.5 2025-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/92717a7f-a142-4692-8381-796ffcf95d9f/20220602-DSC00345.jpg Blog - Pouring a New Trend: Who’s Who in the Rise of Alcohol-Removed Spirits - Another big hurdle for the Littauers was tied to their novel decision to offer their first varietal in a single-serving can. They considered cans to be more eco-friendly and recyclable than traditional glass wine bottles, and more convenient for the consumer who might not want a whole bottle at a time. One can of Sovi is equivalent to 1.5 glass(es). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/f6118538-e5d0-4aa4-90d3-f72004685cd6/SW_188_Sovi_Wines_2022_Photos0384.jpg Blog - Pouring a New Trend: Who’s Who in the Rise of Alcohol-Removed Spirits - Sovi’s clientele includes young mothers, as the Littauers initially expected, but also Baby Boomers seeking wine-alternatives for health reasons and to avoid contraindications with medication. Although the majority of Sovi drinkers are women, an increasing number of men have been drawn to the brand since its release of a red blend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/c0b79501-9db3-4ea7-9016-e5470c344347/Buzkill-Instagram-02.jpeg Blog - Pouring a New Trend: Who’s Who in the Rise of Alcohol-Removed Spirits - Make it stand out Photo credit Buzzkill Wines https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/ec6ab0e1-ae65-4b31-9f08-94bd8d14af15/ErikCastro_03.jpg Blog - Pouring a New Trend: Who’s Who in the Rise of Alcohol-Removed Spirits - Meet Dry Goods Beverage Company Photo credit to Erik Castro for all Dry Goods Bev Co. photos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/a92cb97b-e97a-4dd1-ac63-bd707d63a82d/Untitled+design+%2810%29.jpg Blog - Pouring a New Trend: Who’s Who in the Rise of Alcohol-Removed Spirits - Meet Good Times Alc-Free Photo credit Charlie Crebs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/aaec4789-2b1f-4a34-bb0f-d25ba9453f74/Untitled+design+%286%29.jpg Blog - Pouring a New Trend: Who’s Who in the Rise of Alcohol-Removed Spirits - This passion is what has led Charlie to launch Good Times Alc-Free, a craft cocktail popup bar. Charlie’s goal is to host a popup event in the Bay Area for every major “drinking” holiday, as an outlet for those who are dry on a day that typically revolves around alcohol. The inaugural popup event was on St. Patrick’s day at Naysayer Coffee Roasters in Napa, where patrons socialized and sampled a variety of NA wines, beers and beautiful craft cocktails. Next up is a Cinco de Mayo popup at Jeffries General in downtown Napa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/e9a4207e-8105-4603-a90a-8f9fbca52f4b/unsplash-image-_fLgxjACz5k.jpg Blog - Pouring a New Trend: Who’s Who in the Rise of Alcohol-Removed Spirits - We were unable to identify any Napa Valley breweries presently making a non-alcoholic beer, although there is clearly a market for it. The IWSR Drinks Market Analysis reports that NA beer and cider make up 70% of the NOLO category’s growth. The closest NOLO brewer outside of Napa is Bella Snow in Sonoma, which makes low-alcohol gluten-removed beers including a West Coast IPA and Scottish-style “soft ales” with essence of grapefruit and mandarin. Lagunitas Brewing Company in Petaluma has a popular IPNA (non-alc IPA). Family-owned Barrel Brothers in Windsor has a large selection of NA beers with terrific names including Dark Sarcasm Porter and ¿Por Qué No? If a reader gets the scoop on a Napa-based Brewery making NA beer, please send us a note!

She found this process exciting and enjoyed the artistry of it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/14668380-6676-43e4-97b3-13780ec7f195/ErikCastro_25.jpg Blog - Pouring a New Trend: Who’s Who in the Rise of Alcohol-Removed Spirits - Although Dry Goods Beverage Company carries many products that can be used as one-for-one replacements for alcohol, some of Adrienne’s favorites are new creations that do not try to imitate any particular alcohol. For instance, Bax Botanicals Alc-Free Spirits makes a zingy Verbena NA spirit that tastes like lemon verbena with a touch of sea salt, lime and fresh mint (and is 0 calories). Although it doesn’t taste like gin, it can replace gin in NA cocktails, or it can simply be prepared with soda water and a slice of cucumber. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/d04b4a5f-8a1c-4ca5-b56f-a0638be2233e/Buzkill-Instagram-01.jpeg Blog - Pouring a New Trend: Who’s Who in the Rise of Alcohol-Removed Spirits Photo credit Buzzkill Wines https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6340653517492732ad81743e/92db9563-89cf-4843-80df-a5558f67cd28/ErikCastro_06.jpg Blog - Pouring a New Trend: Who’s Who in the Rise of Alcohol-Removed Spirits - This enterprise allows Adrienne to combine her passion for adult beverages and her marketing experience with her newfound focus on wellness.
