Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Ariel Hart. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Ariel, appreciate you joining us today. Any thoughts about whether to ask friends and family to support your business. What’s okay in your view?

Thank you for having me! I believe support should come naturally. People should see that you are working hard and want to support you. Honestly, I never have to ask my family or friends to support my business, it comes natural for them to do so. I am very grateful for all of the support and love they show me. Whether it’s reposting my business or attending events, they show up. If anyone sees an opportunity that may be beneficial to my brand, they are happy to pass it along and I cherish that. I believe that behind every successful brand is a village behind it, and I have my village. No one is successful on their own.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I enjoy new experiences and showing others so I became a content creator where I highlight things to do in Houston and surrounding areas (@sincerelyhouston on tiktok). Through content creation I have met so many amazing business owners that helped inspire me to create something of my own. Before turning my love for wine into a business I would always recommend various types of wines and brands to social media. Now I have something that I am truly passionate about. 0830 Vines is a new wine brand in which I pride myself in creating. Sacred Hart, our first wine is a red blend with bold flavors of plums and California grapes. When people take their first sip I want them to feel at ease, enjoying the flavor and in the realm of a good time whether with themselves or family and friends.

Where do you think you get most of your clients from?

Word of mouth, social media, and genuine support has really helped me launch my business in the right direction. People see that I have taken a leap of faith and invested in myself and want to support me. Others see peers drinking Sacred Hart and want to try it! I love it all. I’m always in awe of all of the support and I’m very thankful every time someone makes a purchase. I appreciate every purchase, every follow on my brand page, and every repost. It does not go unnoticed.

We’d love to hear the story of how you turned a side-hustle into a something much bigger.

0830 Vines launched in March this year and I have already seen so much growth in the company in such a small amount of time. Though I work an 8-5, I am very confident in all that 0830 Vines has in store for its future. My goals are to be in stores, at festivals, and local pop ups wherever possible. I want everyone to think of 0830 Vines when they think of wine and a good time. I know that with hardwork and dedication, I can turn 0830 Vines into something monumental.
