The Fine Line Podcast: Balancing Hedonism & Health30 Marras 2021

Episode 31 - Summer Wolff and Carolyn Agee

We can’t imagine a better way to wrap up this year than by talking to Summer Wolff and Carolyn Agee from Hootananny Wines. They met as students at CU Boulder, and after college both moved back to NYC. Carolyn got certified in and taught the The Pilates Method, while Summer worked in restaurants and fell in love with wine. Eventually, Carolyn married, had three kids, and moved to Connecticut, where she worked for a wine importer, while Summer fell in love with winemaker Fabrizio Iuli, and move to Italy to help Fabrizio run Cascina Iuli and start an wine import company called Indie Wineries.

Summer took a break from the wine business to raise her two sons, but the wine business kept calling, and in 2019, Summer and Carolyn started their own import company. Hootenanny now has relationships with over 20 producers in Italy, Austria, Slovenia, and France.

Today, we talk about how they balance full time jobs (and a few part time jobs as well) with raising kids and taking care of their physical and mental health. We discuss having female partners in a business dominated by men, and why working with friends can be the best of all worlds!
