Episode #65: Jesse Sauerbrei, Lincoln Wine Bar

Jesse Sauerbrei is the Owner of Lincoln Winebar, the acclaimed wood fire pizza and wine restaurant in Mount Vernon, Iowa.

Jesse joins me to discuss how he came upon the opportunity to purchase the wine bar, his childhood love of pizza, and an inside look at how the business operates. He also shares the unique story behind their pizza oven, how he manages negative reviews and social media, and why it’s beneficial for him to have a “guy” for everything.
