Wine, Women and Words

THIS SITE IS CURRENTLY UNDER RENOVATION SO PLEASE EXCUSE THE MESS

Just a few short decades ago wine journalism was primarily a male domain.

Then along came a few pioneers, like Jancis Robinson, and the wine world changed.

Here you will find a few of my favorite wine blogs, newsletters, books, and more by women.

It is an ongoing project that will be continually revised and expanded.   You can help by telling me about something I have missed (in the guestbook) or by voting for your favorite.

Women Who Write and Talk 

Women and Wine radio

Julie Brosterman of Women and Wine website is also host of the online radio site at Women and Wine Radio. You can tune in and hear some great interviews about food, travel and especially wine!
