Have you noticed all your friends junking their corporate jobs and blowing up their lives in the name of fine wine? This is the beginning of a blog for women working and entering the wine industry as a first, second...or...whatever career. Whether in the vineyards, cellars, tasting rooms, restaurants, or wine shops, these risk-takers are interesting/interested, hawk-eye observant and shaking things up by doing it their way!
Launching this site from the 1st Annual North American Wine Bloggers Conference in Santa Rosa Oct. 24 2008. Stay tuned for inspirational stories and a place to find information on how you too can make wine, not war.
