Ryan Levy is the founder of Nice Winery and a tireless advocate for The Rose's mission to serve uninsured women in Houston.

But the road to owning a premiere winery wasn't always in the cards for Ryan. Prior to Nice Winery, he was a successful lawyer.

During this episode, you'll hear about his career pivot, the journey to creating wines for a cause, and how they honor The Rose's mission in more ways than one.

Next time you're in the area, stop by Nice Winery and grab a bottle of Rosé. 100% of the proceeds go to helping The Rose provide critical screenings for uninsured women in more than forty Texas counties. Learn more here.
