Looking to grab a case of wine reds/whites etc that are women owned or have a good story regarding any women of the domaines perhaps?

  1. Corison I believe was started by a female winemaker.

  2. Hippolyte Reverdy is amazing Sancerre. There Hippolyte’s cousin (Julie) took over the company. In the US it’s imported by Kermit Lynch. If you get your hands on it, buy the oak aged version (Cuvée Ortus).

    Also nice wines and owned by women: Domaine de la Ribotte (Bandol), La Rose Poncet (Bordeaux).

    Nice selection wherever you are.
    Palmento Costanzo (Sicily) is owned and operated by a mother and her daughter and make some lovely wines. I work for an importer that represents them.

    Domaine Tempier wasn’t entirely female run but Lulu Peyraud had a hand in running the winery and making it as famous as it is. The winery named a cuvée after here (Cuvée Lulu). She died a few years ago.

    Check out Esmerelda Garcia in Castilla La Mancha. Lovely Verdejo wines from very old vines.

    Also, in Champagne Elise Bougy is doing some great fizz!

    It’s not that popular in the U.S. but Jean Marc Millot is one of my favorite burgundy producers in the whole world and Alix is an amazing woman and winemaker.

    Not in your picture, but Domaine du Cayron is run by three sisters (5th generation of the family business) and makes an excellent Gigondas.

    A lot of great woman winemakers in California, too many to list actually and probably lots that I am not aware of. I would say that in CA it is close to 50/50 split for winemakers that are male/female at this point. It is much more male dominated industry in France still, but that is changing too.

    Here are some great wines with woman winemakers:
    Hirsch
    Quintessa
    Marcessin
    Dalle Vella

  9. We have quite a few wineries owned by women and/or with women winemakers here in Paso Robles including Hubba, Little Soul, Pelletiere, Epoch, J Dusi, and Ulloa.

    This is the best selection I’ve ever seen in a wine shop. I would only shop all my wine there. Where is this?
