Beth Ribblett co-owner of Swirl, wine shop

Beth Ribblett co-owns Swirl with Kerry Tully. The retail wine shop, located in historic Faubourg St. John, opened in 2006. Beth explains how she found the courage to embark on a new business venture post- Katrina. She tells us about her shop and describes the weekly Swirl wine tastings. Beth hosts the tastings, in part, to help people get to know each other and Swirl has become a popular neighborhood gathering place. Beth is very community minded; she holds fundraisers for groups such as the Metropolitan Center for Women and Children.
