Meet Alyssa Rapp

In the great debate of what to do next after graduating form Yale, Alyssa knew she wanted to take the road less traveled by chasing her childhood ambition to be the first female president. Several political campaigns and one Standford Wine Circle later, Alyssa found the intersection of her interests by creating a community for wine enthusiasts through Bottlenotes.com. In addition to building the premier online community, Alyssa published Bottlenotes Guide to Wine: Around the World in 80 Sips. According to Inc. Magazine, Alyssa is one of the 30 coolest entrepreneurs under 30, and one of Playboy.com’s “10 Sexiest CEOs.” Alyssa linked her love of wine and building small businesses with major wine brand’s interest in marketing to new consumers and created the leading education and entertainment media company in the wine space.
