"Women in Wine is a celebration of not only these outstanding female winemakers, who are now shaping the future of wine in a once predominately male industry, but toasts all women as survivors -- wives, mothers, and daughters -- who are affected by two of the most important issues today -- domestic violence and breast cancer," said Anjoleena Griffin-Holst, wine director for Borgata. "On behalf of Borgata, I am so pleased that Women in Wine has continued to garner further recognition each year within the industry and local communities as a one-of-a-kind culinary experience in Atlantic City, offering exceptional wines and unparalleled cuisine, but most importantly, raising over $200,000.00 to-date for these worthy causes."
Female winemakers and vintners shape many of today's major cellars.
Those participating in Women in Wine include Jean Arnold (Hanzell
Vineyards, Sonoma, CA), Lorraine Bracco (Bracco Wines, Italy), Gay Callan
