Women of the Vine: Vintners, Farmers and Other Pioneers of Taste

Farming has traditionally been considered a man’s work. Meet some of the women on the East End who are changing that—and making a name for themselves and for women everywhere—in agricultural pursuits.  Moderated by Brian Halweil (Edible).

Speakers: Carol Sullivan (Gramercy Vineyards), Jeri Woodhouse (A Taste of the North Fork), Melanie Douglass (Noank Aquaculture Cooperative), and Kelly Urbanik (Macari Vineyards)

The Wine Salons continue on Saturday, September 10 and Saturday, September 17 at locations across the East End. Visit www.harvesteastend.com for more information.
