For this review piece featuring wines made, owned, or inspired by women I reached out to two women in the industry that I’ve personally known for many years. They were thrilled to be included and know that they are truly inspiring and definitely worth putting a spotlight on. Pull up a chair and read about Susan Tipton from Acquiesce Winery in Lodi and Suzanne Phifer Pavitt of Phifer Pavitt Wine in Calistoga.
Though I’ve only featured two remarkable women, know that there are hundreds – if not thousands globally – more women that are employed in the industry including winemakers, vintners, enologists, brokers, buyers, sommeliers, students, cellar masters, tasting room managers, general managers, tour guides, marketers, and vineyard workers. Cheers to them and to those, like us, that appreciate all they do.
