Scout & Cellar is a Texas-based start-up that curates and delivers clean-crafted wine to your door. We’d love to hear more about your business. That kind of solidarity is something very powerful and inspiring to me. These women have served as a sounding board, and we have been sharing best practices, resources, and ideas to promote each other and see each other’s businesses succeed. Specifically, I began collaborating with other women who were starting their own businesses as well. It required the courage to say – “hey, this is something new I’m creating, and let me tell you about it.” I was humbled by the response of friends and peers by the clean-crafted initiative, and this gave me the confidence to find new ways to discuss Scout & Cellar.

In the beginning, I was unsure of how to discuss the company and my new side-hustle in an organic way.
Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?Īs a full-time corporate tax consultant, the sales aspect of Scout & Cellar is a new arena for me. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. This has been one of the most energizing ventures I have started, and I am truly passionate about our mission and where we are headed as a company down the road. It has been a fantastic opportunity to learn about various types of wines, alternative farming methods, and the unique stories of farmers utilizing biodynamic growing practices. In my first few months, I have had numerous wine tastings and recruited other women to join my team as well. I immediately met with Lauren to further discuss how to join Scout & Cellar and create my own side-hustle. It wasn’t until spring 2018 that I circled back with her when in the middle of an intense spring tax season I identified that I needed some creativity in my life.
She told me about a new company committed to sourcing clean wines from all over the world. That night I met Lauren Ware who had recently joined the company as an independent wine consultant in addition to her full-time job as a lawyer. I first heard about Scout & Cellar at a local fundraiser in the fall of 2017. Today we’d like to introduce you to Taylor Mockler.
