Cheers to Women Owned Wineries and Women Who Make Wine!

This February 10, here on Wine Predator, I’m hosting the Wine Pairing Weekend crew as we showcase some of our sweethearts who are women who own wineries or make wine — and food that pairs well with these wines. 

In last month’s invite post, we featured Amy Bess Cook’s project, #WOWSonoma a website that promotes women owned wineries, and Sue and I discussed the career and the wines of Sandra Oldfield, recently retired winemaker and co-owner of Tinhorn Creek in British Columbia Canada. 

Why now?

This month Amy Bess Cook and her project are taking part in #WineStudio which meets Tuesday nights at 6pm PST. The other night, Amy Bess said on Twitter during #WineStudio that “We’re on the brink of growth that will 1) expand our geographic area, 2) include a review and features section featuring nationally published wine writers, and 3) establish a wine club. With such efforts, we hope to bring female wine entrepreneurs due attention.”

And March is Women’s History Month and we are hoping to inspire you to toast women owned wineries and women who make wine on March 8 as well as the rest of the month.

Join us! We’ll post our blogs by 8am Sat. Feb. 10 and we’ll take to twitter to discuss our discoveries from 8-9am PST Sat. Feb 10 using the #hashtag #WinePW. You can look forward to blog posts, recipes, and tweets from:
