Lauren Friel—champion of feminist business models and un-messed-with wine—has captured lightning in a bottle with her small-but-mighty wine bar, Rebel Rebel. The darling of Somerville’s Bow Market, the spot’s pours are natural, and the few seats are coveted by neighborhood regulars, industry insiders, and national drink editors swinging through town. A writer, entrepreneur, and sommelier, Friel is a woman of many talents. A small sampling of her accomplishments includes: holding the position of Wine Director at award-winning Sarma and Oleana restaurants, earning an Advanced Certification with Distinction from the Wine and Spirits Education Trust, compiling the all-female wine list for NYC’s Dirt Candy, and writing for Bon Appétit, Eater, The Kitchn, and more.
