Unfortunately, I’ve read too many articles from Jancis R. MW that were totally off base. She throws out ideas in her head that have no base in reality, problem is people read and believe what she says because of the MW title. I avoid her writing like the plague – it just pisses me off. So many wine people make it up as they go along.

Marjolaine, Thank you so much for your kinds words! Our office was walking on air for a few hours, but then the stack of unfinished work brought us back to terra firma with a resounding thud!

I had the opposite experience with Gina Gallo. Ten years ago she was one of the first customers at Bacchus & Venus Wines in Sausalito. She was pleasant, curios and encouraging. Plus she dropped $500 on merchandise, which was much appreciated at my then-fledgling Small Business Administration-financed wine biz.

Congratulations on putting this impressive list together — a difficult task to do. What would also be interesting would be to highlight the amazing number of entrepreneurial women of wine that are following in the footsteps of these ladies listed here. I know of several who are leading the charge for their family wineries or for their own brands — not easy in this highly competitive environment. All women who make the wine business their career and passion are to be commended — it is often a true labor of love….

There are many of us, giving up power suits and stiff-necked offices, to retire and do what we really want to do…make wine and educate our clientele on what we offer. We may never make a “list” however taking the question out of an experience and turning it to an exclamation point makes the day.
