4 Women Who Are Leading the Way in the Wine Industry

Nine times out of 10, you never want to see shattered glass and wine in the same sentence. However, when you’re talking about women shattering the glass ceiling of the wine industry, it’s an entirely different thing. We’ve spoken with several creative, passionate, smart, and resourceful women in wine — from the winery-owning McBride sisters (whose story is truly magical) to the San Francisco sommelier Chaylee Priete — who are doing the hard work to diversify the male-dominated industry. One winery in particular, La Crema, is leading the charge as a woman-owned company employing women in their senior roles. We chatted with four of the extraordinary ladies from this winery to get their take on the challenges of being a woman in the field, the hectic harvest season, and sniffing spices in the grocery store.

La-Crema1

Jen Walsh, winemaker

Brit + Co: How did you get started in wine? Was winemaking always something that interested you?

Jen Walsh: I came to winemaking a little later in life, and I have been making wine for over 15 years now. After working as a filmmaker for a few years, it finally occurred to me that winemaking could actually be a career path. I began working at a small Maryland winery, and then moved to California to get a graduate degree in Viticulture and Enology. The university provided a great foundation, but becoming a skilled winemaker takes a lot of training and hard work, and I worked with many small Pinot Noir producers around the world to learn the craft. Having diverse winemaking experiences with good mentors is essential, and I certainly use those skills every day at La Crema.

B+C: As a winemaker, we imagine your day-to-day drastically varies depending on the season. Is that true?

JW: In the summer, I spend most of my time outside, walking our vineyards to make sure they are healthy and to see how the grapes are maturing. Once harvest begins, much of my time is spent deciding when to bring grapes into the winery and what to do with them once they arrive. Most weeks during harvest, I’ll be up at 5am and in bed around 11pm. Tasting is also a big part of my job. I taste tanks of fermenting grapes, I taste barrels to see how the wine is developing, and then I will taste wines to decide how to blend them before bottling — it’s very much a “hands-on” job.

B+C: What’s a major misconception you’ve seen about women working in the wine industry?

JW: Much of the work in a cellar is very physical, and the environment can be cold, wet, and dirty. There are pumps and compressors, and all sorts of equipment that needs to be maintained or repaired. As a result, occasionally there is a misconception that women aren’t strong enough to do the job, or that we don’t have the aptitude to drive a forklift or repair a pump. For this reason, it seems that many women take jobs in the winery lab, which can perhaps mean that they may not have the same opportunity to broaden their winemaking skills.

B+C: What are some of your best wine tips for the novices among us?

JW: Many people seem to overbook themselves when visiting wine country. Wine tasting should be a fun and relaxing activity, and rushing around from one tasting appointment to another is stressful! I would select a maximum of three tasting rooms to visit, with a long, leisurely lunch in-between wineries.

Maura Mazzoni, tasting room manager

Brit + Co: Can you talk about your personal professional path that brought you to La Crema?

Maura Mazzoni: Growing up here in Sonoma County, I was very conscious of the unique and exceptional place I called home, and as I began college I knew that I wanted to work in an industry that afforded me the ability the stay, play, and be successful in Sonoma County. Graduating from Sonoma State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business with a concentration in Wine Business Strategies seemed natural. Traveling the next two years for work during harvest in wine cellars from Chile to New Zealand and back to this area didn’t seem natural at all, but I was hooked on the lifestyle. Quickly realizing my winemaking skills were not as strong as my ability to convey the wines, regions, and people that are wine, I made the switch from cellar work to direct-to-consumer sales, and so began my journey in tasting rooms. Since returning from maternity leave, I have had the pleasure of overseeing the opening of the new La Crema Estate at Saralee’s Vineyard for the last year and a half.

Brit + Co: The wine industry is a mysterious one — it’s hard to know what jobs are available. It’s cool to see you putting a business degree to work at a winery. Can you tell us a little more about what a Tasting Room Manager does, day-to-day?

MM: As the Tasting Room Manager for our La Crema Estate, I am responsible for the day-to-day operations of one of the most iconic tasting rooms in the heart of the Russian River Valley. I am responsible for hiring and inspiring new wine educators, creating new guest experiences that showcase all 260 acres of our sustainably farmed Estate, sourcing cheese orders from local purveyors that highlight our wines, partnering with our culinary team to cater all exclusive La Crema Member events, as well as attend monthly business reviews to report out all updates regarding the DTC (direct-to-consumer) business with the winemaking, marketing, and executive teams.

B+C: What is one misconception you’ve seen about working in the wine industry?

MM: One of the biggest misconceptions about the wine industry is that “you will be rich if you work in wine.” Although some have seen major success in our industry, the true wealth of the wine industry comes in the form of a lifestyle. If you work in wine, you are a steward of the land that provides fruit to be enjoyed as a luxury. You are a farmer. You are the gatekeeper of vintages past and present. You are a historian. You are a local ambassador of adventures that should be discovered. You are a professional concierge. You are an educator. You are a memory maker. For me, all those things combined make those of us lucky enough to work in wine “rich,” indeed.

B+C: What are some of your best wine tips for the novices among us?

MM: Visit on a weekday and let your wine educator be your guide. A well-rounded tasting room associate with enough time will be able to establish your comfort with wine, detect what styles of wines you enjoy, how you enjoy them, and your desired price range within a few moments of greeting you. From there, your wine educator will quickly tailor their portfolio to best fulfill your needs and enhance your personalized tasting experience.

Debra Charest, Senior Brand Manager

Brit + Co: What exactly does a Senior Brand Manager do?

Debra Charest: At La Crema, I’m responsible for developing and executing national brand strategy, which includes forecasting, positioning, pricing, packaging, promotion, and a lot more. To do this, I get to work with all departments, from winemaking to sales, as well as the executive team and key members of the company. I also get to travel a bit for various reasons like market surveys, wholesaler education, and to meet with vendors in fun cities like NYC and Miami. I’m based in an office in Santa Rosa, California, but my favorite place to work is at the winery just down the road, with views of the vineyard, alongside our winemakers and tasting room teams who are interacting with our guests every day.

B+C: Before you got into wine, did you have any preconceived notions about the industry?

DC: Before I started working in the wine industry I thought that there were two types of wineries: tiny, mom and pop wineries that made 300-400 cases of each vintage; and huge conglomerate companies that mass-produced wine. In fact, there’s a wide spectrum of producers, making wine that appeals to all levels of consumers, from entry-level to esoteric. I’m so proud to work for a winery that leads with the vineyard, with a range of offerings that express the varying terroir of our estate vineyard sites from Sonoma Coast to Monterey and all the way up to the Willamette Valley in Oregon.

B+C: What are some of your best wine tips for the novices among us?

DC: My best advice is to ask for a recommendation! Whether you’re in a restaurant, a wine shop, or at a tasting, don’t hesitate to ask questions. And never decide that you don’t like a specific variety — the great thing about wine is that the same variety can be very different depending on many factors like where it’s grown, the vintage year, and the winemaker’s vision.

Samantha Poehlman, Assistant Winemaker

Brit + Co: Can you talk about your personal professional path that brought you to La Crema?

Samantha Poehlman: I went to school knowing that I wanted to do something in the Food Sciences. My Microbiology courses, in particular, piqued my interest, and I decided to focus my education on Fermentation Microbiology. After growing up in the Midwest, I decided it was time to try my hand at fermenting something other than dairy.

B+C: Is there a particular part of winemaking that you feel most passionate about?

SP: Throughout the fall, it’s “go time!” Harvest is always my favorite time of the year since it can only happen once annually, you only get one shot to get it right, and every year is a little different. And the most rewarding part of my job is watching the evolution of the grapes we’ve tended as they become wine through the fermentation process. I also really love the creative aspect that comes from blending trials, where we craft our final wines from a blend of different vineyards and plots.

B+C: We’ve asked your colleagues so we have to ask you too — what’s the biggest misconception about working in the wine industry?

SP: That we drink all day! And, yes, it really is work, haha.

B+C: What are some of your best wine tips for the novices among us?

SP: My best “insider” tip is, KEEP TASTING! Taste different teas, beers, spirits, foods, etc. Don’t limit yourself to just wine, or to just what you think you like. Taste with different people. Everyone has different experiences and perhaps has tasted or smelled something you haven’t, so build off of their vocabulary. Tasting is more intimidating than it should be. If someone uses an analogy of a food or spice that you haven’t been exposed to, jot it down and seek it out! I used to make a list and take it the grocery store and smell my way through the bulk spice section to calibrate my vocabulary and increase my arsenal of descriptions.

If it weren't for pop culture and society-at-large prioritizing picture-perfect celebrity couplesor the idealistic "happily ever after," I don't think I would've been as obsessed with falling in love as I was during my 20s. I'm not kidding: my single era could've been used as a case study because I spent entirely too much time fantasizing about "Mr. Right" or "Prince Charming." It's probably why I laugh maniacally whenever I see Shrek's depiction of the latter because I know firsthand how awful some self-professed "nice guys" can be.

But I'd be lying if I said failed situationships and relationships didn't make me lament entering the solo phase again. I almost felt — dare I say — ashamed to be "alone." I liken it to being the only person in a crowd who's wearing their underwear over their cute outfit while someone plays the world's smallest violin in the background. It's a feeling journalist Nicola Slawson's all too familiar with, hence her desire to pen a powerful single girls manifesto for anyone who's still learning how to embrace this season of their lives.

What Pop Culture Gets Wrong About Single Women

Did you know that 50% of people who aren't in relationships actually aren't looking for one (via Pew Research Center)? Yet, pop culture still has conflicting ideas about what this looks like for women (think everything from Sex and the City to Dead to Me). However, it seems that finding a new partner to fill a loneliness void seems to be at least one character's goal.

As a journalist and author of Single: Living A Complete Life On Your Own Terms, Nicola's noticed this too."There is this assumption that all single women are miserable and desperate and that our biggest concern is how we can quickly find a man in order to quickly end what people assume is a terrible state to be in," she says.

Sierra White

Guess what she sees that debunks this myth? "...most single women I know live good and full lives and dating is only a small part of their lives. We have so much more going on and being single is not a waiting room," she shares. To further prove uncoupled people aren't curled up in a dark corner crying into a bowl of ice cream, she features insights about singledom in her book.

"Lots of people I spoke to for my book were either taking a break from dating or simply not interested, yet those stories are rarely told when it comes to books and films and TV shows," she points out. But sadly, "single women are often the butt of the joke," according to her.

Rewrite The Rules

If you consider yourself to be a content person who has unlimited things to do on a Sunday? I'm so happy you've found your happy little groove, but I'm also rooting for you if you feel you're wondering about aimlessly because you're not dating someone.

Here's what Nicola has to say about this: "I think one of the first things I would say is to let go of the idea that you’re somehow in a waiting room waiting for your life to start if you don’t have a partner." Having been in your shoes, she says "there used to be so many things," she avoided. "...I felt like I should do them with a romantic partner until I realized I was holding myself back," she gently shares.

She's also conscious that "there is this idea that you need to be coupled up in order to be complete." But, no! "...you're a whole person and, in the words of one of my interviewees Bella De Paulo, one is a whole number," Nicola exclaims.

Navigating Singleness When You're Thinking About Fertility

The conversation about reproductive rights has made some people reconsider conceiving, but others are still open to becoming parents. If you're one of the few people who's worried about your biological clock ticking as a single person, Nicola and I want you to know your feelings are valid. In fact, she says "this is such a tough position to be in" and that she does "understand the pain and feelings of panic that you can feel as you get older and know your fertility must be declining."

Frankly, she acknowledges "it feels like a race against time," but your choices aren't limited. "I would say start researching your options. You can quite easily get a fertility check to see how you’re doing. Plus, thanks to advances in sciences, you can also freeze your eggs," she suggests. She knows "it's not guaranteed to work, but it may help you further down the line."

Also, understand that you don't have to deal with this by yourself. You can "reach out to support groups" like the community Nicola runs for uncoupled people. "It's associated with my newsletter and there are lots of people in the same boat. It can help to feel less alone," she says. Another resource she recommends is the "Stork and I community for those considering solo motherhood by choice (with a sperm donor)."

Moving On After A Long-Term Relationship Ends

You thought you and your former sweetheart were destined to be together forever until a bad breakup left you feeling disoriented. Nicola says she understand this feeling because she's "been there" too! But this isn't the time to pretend like you can bounce back like nothing happened.

"Firstly it’s OK to feel absolutely awful - it’s normal actually! It helped when I understood the science behind heartbreaks - there is a reason you feel so bad - which tells us that those going through heartbreak are experiencing similar feelings to those who are going through withdrawal from a drug addiction," she discloses.

The second thing she's sure about is that "your life is not over, but it's OK to take things day by day for a while." I don't remember how long it took to heal, but I was distraught after my last breakup. I thought I'd found the person I was going to marry and have children with so when it was obvious things weren't working out, I cried for a long time. Eventually, I was able to find joy in small things and went on to build a life I love.

And that's what Nicola wishes for you too! "Look after yourself, treat yourself and take it easy. Don’t try and push yourself to be happy and over it before you are," she advises.

Solo Date Ideas To Celebrate Yourself

Solo date ideas are very much a thing I stand behind and does Nicola. "Sometimes I have chosen to completely ignore the day but other times I have embraced it and chosen to celebrate the love I have for myself. One year I took myself out for a meal one lunchtime at a spot I consider I real treat. I then bought myself flowers on the way home," she divulges. TBH, this sounds like my kind of carrying on!

She continues with, "Other things I’ve done on Valentine’s or on my birthday include booking a spa day or going for a massage, going to the cinema — which is one of the easiest solo date ideas as everyone is quiet and doesn’t speak when the film is on so you don’t need to go with anyone anyway — and choosing a recipe you have never tried before (bonus points if it’s something elaborate) and cooking yourself a slap up meal."

Nicola also says a guest writer for The Single Supplement newsletter "once wrote about a three course meal she lovingly prepared for herself because why not? You deserve to be treated, so you may as well treat yourself!"

What Loving Yourself While Single Feels Like

So, what does it mean to be 100% okay with being single? For Nicola, she's been finding new things to admire about herself. "I’ve learned just how capable and resilient I am and I now have the knowledge that I am OK - more than OK - on my own." One of the things that makes me smile is her realization that this "feels like a super power to her" in light of knowing she "used to have such a tendency towards being co-dependent in relationships."

It's evident my younger self didn't see this, but I too relied heavily on former partners for joy, fun, love, and validation. I thought that they were the answers to things that didn't feel right in my life, but that wasn't the case. The awesome thing about growth, however, is the ability to make peace with who you are and things you learned along the way.

To that Nicola says, "If I did find someone, I think I would be in a much healthier place than I used to be. But equally, if I remain single, I now know I can still lead a joyful life that’s full of love."

Millions of Americans tune into award shows like the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, and Tonys every single year. Yet, you may not know that the Newbery Medal predates all of them — and this great literary honor historically celebrated and exulted some of your favorite childhood reads.

The latest Youth Media Awards took place on January 27, 2025, at the LibLearnX conference in Phoenix, Arizona. There, this year's Newbery Medal winner was officially announced. Keep reading to find out the exciting new winner!

Here's everything you need to know about the 2025 Newbery Medal winning book!

What is the Newbery Medal?

Amazon

The Newberry Medal is awarded to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children on a yearly basis. The American Library Association (ALA) gave the very first Newbery Medal to Hendrik Willem van Loon, author of "The Story of Mankind," in 1922.

This honor, named after John Newbery, an English children's book publisher, ultimately became the world's first children's book award.

Since its inception, the Newbery Medal has been awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children. Numerous revered works have been given this honor, ranging from The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle in 1923 to Summer of the Swans in 1971 and The Tale of Despereaux in 2004.

Who won the 2025 Newbery Medal?

Erin Entrada Kelly

The honor was given to The First State of Being by Erin Entrada Kelly. The book, which came out on March 5, 2024, is set in 1999 and follows a 12-year-old boy named Michael Rosario, who is consumed by anxiety as he prepares for a potential Y2K disaster.

Then, one day, Michael encounters a teenager named Ridge, who stands out with his unusual clothing and strange way of speaking. It turns out that Ridge traveled back in time from the year 2199 with the help of his mom's scientific experiments following a dare from his siblings.

Michael is tempted by the opportunity to find out about the future. However, he realizes that his priority is helping Ridge return to his own time.

This feat represents Erin Entrada Kelly's second Newbery Medal win. She previously won the honor for the first time in 2018 with her book, Hello, Universe.

Along with this prestigious award, the committee also awarded Newbery Honors to other books deemed attention-worthy. These titles included Across So Many Seas by Ruth Behar, Magnolia Wu Unfolds It All by Chanel Miller, One Big Open Sky by Lesa Cline-Ransome, and The Wrong Way Home by Kate O'Shaughnessy.

Amazon

While the Newbery Medal is perhaps the most famous children's book award, the ALA also recognizes outstanding literature across a variety of categories. These awards, including the Randolph Caldecott Medal, the Coretta Scott King Book Award, the William C. Morris Award, and the Michael L. Printz Award, are determined by committees of children's librarians and other literary experts.

This year, the Randolph Caldecott Medal was presented to Chooch Helped by Andrea L. Rogers and illustrated by Rebecca Lee Kunz. It's awarded to the most distinguished American picture book for kids.

Amazon

Twenty-four Seconds from Now... by Jason Reynolds received the Coretta Scott King Book Award, which honors African American authors and illustrators who create exceptional books for both children and young adults. My Daddy Is a Cowboy, illustrated by C.G. Esperanza, won the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Book Award.

The William C. Morris Award, given to books by debut authors writing for teen audiences, was presented to Not Like Other Girls by Meredith Adamo. Finally, the Michael L. Printz Award, which recognizes excellent works across YA fiction, nonfiction, poetry, graphic novels, and anthologies, was awarded to Brownstone by Samuel Teer and illustrated by Mar Julia.
