“When people tell me that I can’t do something, it motivates me more.”
In this episode, Jay talks to Jayme Powers, the Proprietor of Sigh! champagne bar in downtown Sonoma, California. Sigh! has been awarded the number 8 spot among the Top 25 champagne bars in the country by Travel and Leisure Magazine.
Started as a leap of faith, Jayme speaks of her story from working in a winery, to launching her champagne bar, and then expanding into a new location. She talks about her passion for people, educating them about sparkling wines and champagnes, slowing down to get ahead and the wonder of her journey in retrospect. As she’ll tell you in the podcast, it’s definitely not just about sitting and drinking champagne all day!
