Hi, I’m Carrie Boyle, a wine educator, writer, and lifelong enthusiast of all things delicious and meaningful. I’ve spent more than 25 years in the wine world—as a wine shop owner, wine judge, sales consultant, and Certified Specialist of Wine—and along the way, I’ve learned that wine is about so much more than what’s in the glass.

For me, wine is a tool for slowing down, connecting, and paying attention—to the moment, to the people you’re with, and to yourself. That idea became the heart of The Mindful Glass, where I explore how mindful wine appreciation can inspire creativity, curiosity, and community.

These days, I spend my time writing, tasting, teaching, and finding new ways to bring mindfulness and meaning to the everyday rituals we all share. I live in Northern California, where the vineyards, mountains, and endless glasses of possibility keep me inspired.
