From IT to Vineyard
Shoe Crazy Wine | 2
ORIGINS of Our Name: In 2006, Founder Gwen Hurt the mother of 3 amazing kids and new to the world of wine
was given a “wine making” kit for Christmas. She made and bottled 120 bottles of Chianti. Contemplating what to name
her creation.. daughter Brittny said… name it something you love… “I loved and was passionate about shoes”…and
now this new love .. The name “Shoe Crazy Wine” was born. “While her creation wasn’t the most drinkable wine. It was
a delightful cooking wine and made one heck of a Bolognese Sauce for Pasta!!” Gwen was hooked and vowed to one
day discover all of wines intricacies.
FROM TECHNOLOGY to VINTNER: In 2013, Shoe Crazy Wine, LLC was founded by Gwen after a series of
challenging events in her life. A car accident that took nearly a year of recovery, the other was parting with the company
in which she had spent 17 years working diligently. Although “IT” was not her passion, she really loved her job. During
her rehabilitation, Gwen made the decision to fight back the depression and pain and start a company that she could be
proud of and most importantly passionate about. Thus the SCW story is truly the tried and true cliché “Everything
Happens for a Reason”… Sometimes two things happen for a reason! Gwen landed a partner that allowed her an avenue
to enter the wine business. SCW launched very quietly in 2013 in Chesterfield Virginia as a private label vintner. In June
2014, SCW Asia Pacific in Singapore and wholesale distributor, importer and exporter of California and French Varietals
into Asia and the US.
