Last February, Amy Bess and a few of her member wineries joined #winestudio to discuss her new project. We listened, we tasted and we loved her spirit and drive. Over a year in and Amy Bess has created a community of advocacy and solutions for women in the wine industry. She is a mighty force! Consider supporting today. February 2018 #winestudio Program: Beginnings: Woman-Owned Wineries of Sonoma County I met Amy Bess Cook on a writer retreat last September and I knew this was someone I wanted in my life. After Amy Bess released her new project, Woman-owned Wineries (WoW) of Sonoma I contacted her immediately to offer #winestudio as a platform to get the message out. From Amy Bess: "I was compelled to create this site because, during my eight years of helping to operate a boutique winery, I witnessed hardworking women throughout the industry being marginalized every place from sales meetings to the cellar floor. I wanted to do something positive to celebrate their work. This project is my love letter to them."

Being your own boss is great, but it's good to face yourself head on sometimes and evaluate past decisions, good and bad so that you're always innovating, challenging others and yourself. Big thanks to Rachael and April who forced me to rethink in ways I hadn't yet. What's in this episode –
