Beyond CA (Beyond California)

"BEYOND CA" introduces the lead women winemakers we have had the pleasure of meeting in the major international wine areas and other U.S. wine areas listed below. For each winemaker, we provide a description of her career and where she crafts her wines. Unlike our sections on California winemakers, which attempt to include all the lead women winemakers in the state, in most cases BEYOND CA only includes a significant subset of women winemakers in the specified region. For each region, we also provide a link to our article describing our visit, for those interested in greater detail about that region.
