Hello Wedding Lovers,
It's Leslee here! I'm hoping to help put the ease in planning for your big day's festivities - party planning festivities, that is.
I have helped brides-to-be for over 20 years with their wedding wine lists. The first question I get is: Do I have to select the wines our wedding venue is forcing us into from their own list? My reply is: definitely not!
Before you make any decisions, check with your venue on a corkage fee.
I'm going to give you some math on this in just a minute, but first, hear me out...
At Sip Better, you always win with amazing wines that not only taste great and are healthy for you + your guests, but live at a price point that everyone can afford—yes, even...

In honor of Women's History Month, we're highlighting the creative team at Sip Better, composed entirely of WOMEN.
First, a note from Leslee:
Meet the ladies of The Sip Better Wine Club's 'force'.
When I think of the energy and the force it takes to run a small business, well...I'm already exhausted. But they say: if you surround yourself with positive, supportive + smart people, anything is possible. In reality, it makes EVERTHING possible.
Enter Emily + Addy. Emily has literally been with my businesses, Amusée + Sip Better, for a decade (omg, that's half of Amusée's existence!!) and Addy—who's been with us for over a year + a half—in reality, it feels like we've known her forever.
Without this amazing dynamic duo full of creativity, energizing enthusiasm, jam-packed hilarity and brilliance, Sip Better would just not be the team we are today.
I raise my glass to these two beauties who keep me centered, focused, creative + best of all, keep me current. They remind me that I'm...

Wine Clubs: The Perfect Mother's Day Gift
Sip Better figures out your taste for wine and goes deep

There’s a new wine club based out of Minneapolis that makes for just the sort of mom-pleasing gift we’re all looking for this time of year. I first heard about Sip Better from its founder, sommelier Leslee Miller. Miller operates Amusée, a wine company that teaches classes and builds delicious wine lists for restaurants. I was snuggled in at a seminar she led at Grandview Lodge’s yearly de’Vine weekend.
I had met Miller years before, and I fondly remember the first wine tasting we attended together because she described a white wine as having notes of Banana Runts. RUNTS! Does anyone else remember those little candies, often delivered from one of those little twist-turn vending...
