"Like his, my story may vary from one telling to the next. But it will always end in laughter. Always in joy. Always in knowing that home goes and grows with you, wherever you are." A beautiful ode to a neglected grape from @oxfordamerican: oxfordamerican.org/on-jubilee-a-j…

Thanks so much for reading and sharing. My own story aside, I hope colleagues do give this topic space for discussion. The #winery work culture has a whole lotta room for healing and growth.

"While the beverage industry has not fully analyzed the impact of the pandemic on women in its workforce ... it seems likely that women in wine, like women in so many other fields, have lost footing in the quest for equality. " My latest for @SevenFiftyDaily-->

I've just launched a #crowdfunding campaign to secure the future of @wowsonoma, est. in 2017 to offer practical solutions for hard working #womeninwine. A portion of the raise goes to a nonprofit entrepreneurial grant program. We'd love your support!🙏 bit.ly/38u1GyF

We often start out with good intentions to buy from women-owned brands, but get frustrated at a lack of options. That's why I'm doggedly persistent in my work with @wowsonoma, and was happy to create this list of bottle recs for @PixWine . 🍷 #IWD

Happy International Women’s day to all the bold giant billion-dollar corporations posting cute graphics and quotes today, when so many of us have emails from them telling us “we don’t have the budget” or “sorry this is as high as we can go” or “no pay but it’s great exposure!”

With a nod to #BlackHistoryMonth --and because its an everyday imperative to support one another--I created this list of 36 Black female vintners. Who'd I miss?

KEEP GOING 🏃‍♀️I tell myself this every day, and reckon I felt compelled to spread the word ... yes, on a bandana. With designer Lisa Hobro + comrade @gonzaleswine8, we at @wowsonoma have created a fundraiser to support seasonal workers. Please support and share. Happy Labor Day!

VINTNERS Check the air quality while workers are harvesting or working in any outdoor (or near outdoor) conditions. IF AQI if 151 or higher you are required to protect your workers - including proper masks: dir.ca.gov/dosh/wildfire/… You're breaking state law if you don't.

Sonoma County + Nor Cal: Please consider a contribution to Sarah, who basically works for free to keep our butts safe during fire season. I cannot count the number of nights I've slept better because of her clear reporting.

I never imagined the topic of inequity in the #winebiz would get so much air time--but lately, it has. Thanks to @JillCowan of @nytimes for taking time to interview me here, and to my colleagues who work to make a better industry for all. nytimes.com/2021/05/12/us/…

Brava to #winemaker Erica Stancliff for rallying our local #wine community around higher ethical standards, and thanks to @NorthBayNews for sharing the story, with thoughts from Erica and me. I've committed to drafting a similar policy for @wowsonoma . bit.ly/3dsZSpA

Thank you @amybesscook etc for talking more about how Wine Country's insular nature played a role in Dominic Foppoli's misconduct (if you don’t subscribe to the @sfchronicle yet, I recommend it!) sfchronicle.com/food/wine/arti…
