Meet the Women Breaking Barriers in the Wine Industry, One Bottle at a Time

Ever wonder what happens when a lawyer and a music producer join forces to shake up the wine industry? Latoya Jordan and Brianna Shelko, the visionaries behind Marble Wines, are rewriting the rules of wine with purpose, passion, and a deep commitment to women's empowerment.

When Latoya found herself helping a reality TV star create a wine brand (despite him not even being a wine drinker), she discovered her own passion for the process. Having worked successfully with Brianna on previous projects, she knew exactly who to bring along on this journey. What makes their partnership extraordinary isn't just their complementary skills—Latoya's legal expertise and Brianna's marketing prowess—but their aligned vision for creating something meaningful in a traditionally male-dominated industry.

Their flagship product, a thoughtfully crafted red blend, targets a specific audience: people who think they don't like red wine. By including Chardonnay and keeping tannins low, they've created what they call a "transitional wine" that's converting skeptics into enthusiasts. But what truly sets Marble Wines apart is the striking bottle design featuring a metallic film that creates a reflective surface—allowing every customer to literally see themselves in the product. This brilliant innovation came from focus groups where women repeatedly expressed their desire for representation in wine.

The name "Marble" itself holds deep significance, symbolizing how beautiful individual elements come together to create something cohesive and stunning—much like the founders themselves. Beyond selling wine, they're building a community through women-centered events and collaborations with female entrepreneurs across various industries.

Currently available in select Brooklyn retailers at an accessible $18.99 price point and shipping nationwide through their website, Marble Wines has ambitious plans for expansion including a sparkling varietal and potentially challenging the notion that Georgia muscadine grapes can't produce excellent wine.

Raise a glass with these remarkable entrepreneurs who prove that wine can be more than just a beverage—it can be a vehicle for connection, celebration, and seeing yourself reflected in something beautiful.
