One day you are speeding your way through life’s journey and suddenly you are given the option to detour. Do you take the chance to flip the script and envision yourself in a new place, in a new industry and a new calling? Today’s Across the Table guest certainly did. And as we found out when we sat down with Kristen Hoefert-Redlinger at JJ’s Wine, Spirit & Cigars, she has been taking detours all her life and this time she’s taking us along for a fun ride.

Since we first sat down Across the Table from Kristin, she has been selected as the Winner in Embe’s annual Tribute to Women Awards in the Business Achievement Category. Our congratulations go out to her.
