Q: Tell us about the start of Ethos.

Emily: We wanted a cool wine bar that has thoughtfully selected wines and shareable small snacks and plates. Where you can hide in a cozy corner with your friends, or be out on the patio, and just have a really nice, delicious time.

Q: You made your own wine under Pocomo Wine Co. How would you describe it?

Emily: It's a very surprising Malbec-Cab Franc rosé. It's just not something you see. There's this beautiful color, wonderful texture, you get fruit but it's still dry. When we serve it people always say, "It's not what I expected, but I love it."

Q: Is there a piece of jewelry that's especially sentimental to you—something you never take off?

Emily: I have a beautiful vintage topaz and seed pearl ring my husband gave me before we were even officially together. I don't wear it every day because I'm afraid of damaging it, but it means so much to me.

The one piece I never take off is my wedding ring. It's a marquise salt-and-pepper diamond, and I'm deeply obsessed with it. It's so unique.
