Patti, I agree, I also loved the statement, “Women who realize that in coming together and growing as a force to be reckoned with, they will break down the barriers of a male-dominated industry.” So great that they are able to build these types of relationships with other women in the industry (and the competition!). It sounded like a fabulous time with an amazing group of women!

I did not attend the conference but was delighted to attend the tasting in SF on Tuesday. Not only were the wines lovely, but I really enjoyed the opportunity to talk with the wonderful women in attendance. I did a brief blog post about it, but will add tasting notes later.

I absolutely loved this post, Michele! What great insight into an industry we so rarely hear about when it comes to marketing to women. I couldn’t agree more with the statement, “Women who realize that in coming together and growing as a force to be reckoned with, they will break down the barriers of a male-dominated industry.”

Thanks for sharing your experience!

This post– tweeted by Jeff Sexton–couldn’t be more timely for me: On Friday I’ll attend NYC’s Italian Wine Week, called Vino 2010 this year, for the third year in a row.

The first year I met one woman vineyard owner. Last year 4-5. Many of them had taken over their family’s business–phenomenal in Italy with its traditional culture.

After reading your post I’m eager to see if even more women vineyard owners attend Vino 2010. I’ll be sure to mention Wine Entre Femme.
