Hello, I’m Abigail, founder of Rausch Wine Collective, a pursuit born from my passion for discovering, understanding, and sharing the world of wine.

My journey began during a visit to the Wachau Valley in Austria, where I tasted a bottle of Franz Hirtzberger Grüner Veltliner that completely changed my perception of what wine could be. It was one of those rare moments when a wine stops you in your tracks. I was struck by it’s beauty & complexity—a complexity I didn’t know could possibly be expressed through a bottle of wine. I needed to know it’s story.

That curiosity led me to pursue level 2 & level 3 WSET wine courses and to travel throughout Europe, exploring wine regions in Austria, France, Italy, & Spain. Along the way, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the diversity, history, and artistry that makes wine so endlessly fascinating.

Rausch Wine Collective was created to bring that sense of discovery into your own home. Whether you’re looking to thoughtfully build your personal collection, discover new wines, or host an engaging and memorable tasting experience, I’d love to help you explore the world of wine—one bottle at a time.

Because great wine is more than what is in the glass—it is a reflection of place, time, and the people who bring it to life.
