Rachel’s reintroduction to wine blogging after a pause—sharing her beginnings, wine experience, and vision for The Purfect Pour.
Level 1 Sommelier, wine educator, and lifelong wine nerd. Rachel’s journey started in restaurants and evolved into a passion for storytelling, sustainability, and spotlighting women in wine.
Through The Purfect Pour, she shares approachable wine education with a personal twist—minus the pretension. She’s currently studying for her Level 2 certification and dreaming up virtual tasting events to bring us all together.
The Purfect Pour is more than a blog—it’s a movement rooted in curiosity, community, and connection.
Created by Rachel Elias, a seasoned wine professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience, this space grew from her graduate thesis focused on women in wine and their influence on sustainable leadership. That academic journey opened the door to something bigger: a need for a welcoming, inclusive space where wine lovers of all levels could learn and grow—without pretension.
Here, we spotlight the women making waves in wine and highlight real stories behind every bottle. You’ll find grounded, real-world wine education with a healthy pour of personality—and maybe a few cat cameos, too.
Whether you’re here for pairing tips, industry insight, or just a good read with your glass of rosé, you’re always welcome at our table.
Whether it’s a wine-fueled blog post, a cat-infused content series, or an honest take on the industry, The Purfect Pour invites you to sip, learn, and laugh along the way.
This isn’t just about what’s in your glass—it’s about community, curiosity, and connecting over what we love.

It’s in the laughter with friends, the quiet journaling mornings, and the pets curled up at our feet.
At The Purfect Pour, we believe in sipping slowly, learning joyfully, and honoring the stories that fill our lives—one glass at a time.
Wherever you are on your wine journey, we hope you feel at home here.
