Women Winemakers: The Other 10%

California dominates the U.S. wine scene in terms of production, but what about the other 10%? In the wine regions of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Texas, New York, and beyond, women are making waves in the cellar and in the boardroom. In this session, we will hear from a few—addressing the unique challenges and opportunities each region faces, and the efforts they are making to bring these regions to the forefront of the minds of wine trade and consumers. Curious to try the wines from these pioneering women? We have an exclusive 4-pack of wine from all of these winemakers available for purchase.
