The Swirl Suite

This episode is more than a finale. It’s a full-circle moment.

For the last interview of The Swirl Suite Podcast in this chapter, we sit down with Kora Franco, founder of Aesthetic Wines, a modern, Black woman–owned wine brand rooted in resilience, ambition, and bold self-expression. Kora’s story mirrors so much of what The Swirl Suite has always stood for: showing up authentically, claiming space in wine culture, and building something meaningful even when the path isn’t smooth.

We talk about:

• Building a wine brand with purpose and personality
  
  

• Navigating the wine industry as a Black woman entrepreneur
  
  

• Confidence, creativity, and choosing boldness even when it feels risky
  
  

• What it really means to create a movement, not just a label
  
  

After our conversation with Kora, we close this chapter the only way that feels right: by reflecting on our favorite Swirl Suite moments. The interviews that moved us, the laughs that caught us off guard, the lessons we’ll carry forward, and the community that made every episode worth recording.
