Meredith Hale-Griffin
M.S., DipWSET Candidate
Meredith Griffin started her post-graduate career as a college wellness instructor and sport performance coach. Simultaneously, she discovered a passion for wine after having the opportunity to spend time in Sonoma, California. The blending of those interests led to the creation of decantU. decantU is rooted in the belief that wellness is multi-dimensional, just as wine is about much more than merely imbibing in it. Both extend into community, spirituality and mindfulness. decantU offers interactive events and seminars exploring how greater well-being can be found through the magic of wine and how wine can be part of a healthy lifestyle. Meredith has held events in a variety of venues for a hosts of different businesses, organizations and social groups.
Meredith is also the co-host of the Major Crush Winecast, a wine lover’s podcast. Along with her co-host, Lou Zant, they sit down to chat with winemakers, wine writers, wine professionals and chefs while sharing stories and insights, and sipping a glass of wine or two.
A self-proclaimed “wine geek” who believes you can always learn more about wine and how it adds joy to life, Meredith is pursuing the esteemed Diploma Level in Wine with the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET).
Prior to her first career she earned her Master’s degree in Exercise Science and Wellness at Arizona State University and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach with National Strength and Conditioning Association. She continues to serve as an editor for their NSCA Coach Journal.
Meredith and her husband, David, met in their hometown of Phoenix, Arizona and currently reside in New Orleans.
