MOLLY FEDICK
Founder & CEO
he former creative director at dating app Hinge, Buzzkill is Molly’s baby and brainchild – a company born out of her own desire for an edgy, authentic wine experience without the alcohol.
After graduating from Boston University and Northwestern, Molly relocated to New York City, where she spent six years as a viral meme-er (5MM+ followers) and creative director with a heavy focus on millennial culture and unconventional (some say crazy) marketing tactics. At Hinge, Molly spearheaded an unorthodox Instagram “meme takeover” and podcast campaign, which led to explosive growth of the app and an eventual acquisition by Match Group. Molly is also a co-founder of Cornelia Creative, a meme-specific advertising agency. Clients include Dunkin’, Svedka, and Netflix, among others.
Molly lives in Los Angeles with her puppy Pippi and is happy to admit her favorite hobbies still include socializing with friends at bars and restaurants – with and without alcohol. She is a graduate of Boston University and Northwestern University.
EVYN CAMERON
Winemaker
Evyn Cameron originally hails from Wyckoff, New Jersey, where her interest in wine began at a young age—while sitting at the dinner table with her mother, a fine-fragrance perfumer, and her father, an avid wine collector. She studied Hospitality at Boston University and began working for Thomas Keller at Per Se in New York upon graduation. Shortly after, she realized being a Winemaker was her calling.
Evyn began her winemaking career in the Napa Valley at Whiterock Vineyards, Saintsbury Winery, and Seavey Winery, with some time in New Zealand at Carrick Winery, focusing on biodynamic viticulture and enology. She quickly worked her way up as the Enologist at Cliff Lede Vineyards, in Yountville, then as the Associate Winemaker for Anaba Wines in the Carneros AVA. Evyn was most recently the Winemaker at Crocker & Starr Winery in St. Helena, Napa Valley, for 5 years where she made top ranking wines from the organic estate grown property; most notably making Jeb Dunnuck’s top 100 list of 2021.
Evyn lives in Napa with her partner and son.
