Jess Druey is a writer, speaker, founder, and content creator rooted in California. She builds community through wine, storytelling, and real-life experiences that bring people together — online and offline.

As the founder of WHINY WINES, Jess works at the intersection of culture, hospitality, and next-generation wine, reimagining how wine shows up in everyday life. In 2026, she was recognized as a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree for her work shaping modern consumer culture.

Alongside her work in wine, Jess is in her author era, writing her first book and expanding her work as a speaker and host. She speaks on modern adulthood, community, creativity, and building a life that feels as good as it looks. Her content blends education, hosting, humor, and honesty — grounded in the physical world, not just the digital one.
