Wine

Item Description

Women have always been an integral part of the California wine industry. Traditionally, they inherited their positions from husbands or fathers. However, beginning in the 1960s, women started to own wineries and to assume management positions based on their own qualifications, often independent of family heritage. But even more importantly, they began to become prominent winemakers.

In this lot we pay tribute to some of the premier female winemakers of the Napa Valley.

A beautiful collection of awesome wines made by awesome women, in support of the Calistoga Family Center.... your collection will include:

• One 1.5L 2006 Bressler Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (winemaker, Mia Klein)
