How can you support women-owned businesses?

Greetings from San Francisco!

Today, I would like to share some tips for supporting women-owned businesses, with some specific ways to support women in the wine industry.

A few actions you can take to support women-owned wineries include:

Thanks for your attention; I hope you’ll consider supporting women with your next glass of wine!
