TAKING OVER
The Women of California
Wine Country
By Pamela Powell
he Covid-19 pandemic
appears to be winding
down which means travel
is gearing up. While traveling abroad may still be out of reach, we can certainly enjoy some treasures in our own “backyard.” The California Wine Country is that proverbial backyard, providing some of the most deliciously gorgeous settings whether you enjoy just relaxing or going full-tilt adventure.
My daughter, Kelsey, and I recently ventured to Napa and Sonoma, where we introduced to amazing wines, delicious food and the ever-increasing number of females are at the helm of vineyards and winemaking, hidden gems, both large estate and artisanal boutique.
After leaving the chill of San Francisco behind, the landscape of this pristine area is quickly changing and while Mother Nature has had a heavy hand in that with drought and devastating wildfires, women have lent a positive hand in changing the view.
