Our Story

Oliver the Dog

Brooke

The older sister. I'm originally from Detroit, lived in Chicago for several years and now I've landed here in Wauwatosa with my husband Jordan, our one-year old Liam and our two dogs, Brutus and Oliver. I started learning about wine after falling in love with Napa. And when I'm not on the hunt for new wines, I love spending time with family and friends, cooking, event planning and race car driving.

Anna Banana the Dog

Sarah

The younger sister. My love for wine all started with a simple love for mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. While tagging along with Brooke on her frequent Napa trips, I realized wine paired perfectly with my favorite foods. So, when Brooke hinted at opening The Ruby Tap, I immediately quit my job, packed up my Chicago apartment and moved north to Milwaukee. I love volleyball, traveling, friends, family, decorating and my dog, Anna Banana.

Brutus the Dog

Jordan

Brooke's husband. I'm originally from Toledo, followed Brooke to Chicago and now comfortably settled here in Wauwatosa. I've always been a beer guy, and always will be, but my appreciation for wine has grown considerably after venturing out to Napa, Sonoma and Willamette Valley with Brooke over the years. I love our two dogs, our son Liam, anything outdoors involving a backpack, biking, movies and Belgian beers.
