NakedWines.com is a way for wine drinkers to get in touch
with winemakers. You can buy wine from them like any other wine company, or you
can get an even richer experience by becoming a Naked Angel and directly
supporting independent winemakers. Angels deposit $40 a month in their
NakedWines.com accounts as a prepayment for wine, and those deposits allow
NakedWines.com to invest in talented winemakers. There are over 250,000 Angels
around the world funding this completely new way to make and enjoy fine wine.
Benoit Vialle runs the US branch of NakedWines.com, but he's
more likely to describe himself as our most ardent Angel than as a chief
executive of the company. His unending enthusiasm is only paralleled by his
tech savvy which he honed in years of work at Microsoft and smaller startups
like VentePrivee.

Ryan O'Connell started making wine in the south of France
when he was just 19 and within a few years, his family turned to crowd-funding
to save their vineyard and make the business sustainable. With some very
flattering awards and accolades for winemaking and wine writing under his belt,
Ryan now works at NakedWines.com USA where he helps recruit new winemakers and
wine drinkers by sharing stories about the wines with the whole community.
