Brand Tone

Knowledgeable & Guiding, Welcoming & Approachable, Passionate & Creative, Elegant & Chic, Personal & Familiar

Brand Values

• •Quality & Natural Processes: A core value is the focus on natural wine, emphasizing organic cultivation and minimal intervention, representing "a pure representation of nature and time." This extends to "the finest quality ingredients, suppliers, and producers" for their food menu.
• •Education & Personalization: They aim to educate customers about natural wine and help them find the perfect bottle for any occasion, meal, or mood.
• •Community & Inclusivity: The Daughter fosters a welcoming environment for both wine enthusiasts and newcomers. It's a space for social gatherings and celebrations.
• •Female Empowerment & Heritage: The brand is "female-owned and operated" and the name is an "ode to all the amazing people in the world," particularly celebrating women. Goldstein also connects the food (like challah) to her cultural heritage.
• •Seasonality & Local Support: The food menu centers around Ontario produce and changes based on what's in season, working directly with local suppliers.

Best Practices

• •Educate, Don't Intimidate: Always aim to share knowledge in an accessible and friendly way. Avoid overly technical jargon unless explained clearly. The goal is to empower customers, not make them feel uninformed.
• •Emphasize the "Why": Connect products (wine, food) back to the core values: natural processes, seasonality, local sourcing, and the passion of the producers and the team. Tell the story behind the offerings.
• •Maintain a Personal & Welcoming Voice: Use inclusive language. Address the customer directly (e.g., "your journey," "we're here to help you"). Reflect the "ode to all the amazing people" spirit mentioned by the owner.
• •Highlight the Experience: It's not just about the wine or food, but the atmosphere, the discovery, and the connection. Use descriptive language that evokes the chic, yet comfortable and intimate, ambiance.
• •Be Authentic & Passionate: Let the genuine love for natural wine, quality food, and creating a welcoming space shine through in every piece of communication. Share the team's enthusiasm.
