Quite some time ago I had gone on to our Hoot n Annie Facebook page and asked who all the female winemakers in the Paso Robles area were and the response was amazing. I thought there were only a small handful but turns out there were about 21 names mentioned. I could not confirm a few of them so I believe there are about 19 but I\u2019m sure there are more out there that were missed.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the list but please keep in mind that some of this information may not be completely accurate so if you have any info that could help make this list more accurate please let me know in the comment section below. My only \u201crules\u201d are that they are female (obviously), preferably that they are winemakers in North County (from Santa Margarita to San Miguel), and that they are the winemaker or the assistant winemaker.<\/p>\n

Again, please let me know what info is wrong or what is missing. There are a few holes above but this needs to be crowd sourced.<\/p>\n

Now\u2026all that being said, why the hell did I want to write about female winemakers?<\/p>\n

Well, I like females and I like wine. That being said I thought it would be pretty cool to highlight them and show them some appreciation. As I was working on this I started wondering why we do that\u2026why we call them female winemakers rather than winemakers. If someone is black do we call them a black winemaker? How about a gay winemaker? Midget winemaker? We don\u2019t say white winemaker or male winemaker now do we?<\/p>\n

I ended up sitting somewhere in the middle on this. I get it, there are more male winemakers in Paso than female winemakers so we acknowledge that by including \u201cfemale\u201d as a descriptor of who\/ what they are. On the flip side, who gives a damn if they are male or female\u2026I just want the wine to be good and hopefully the winemaker is a cool person. Whether that person\/ winemaker has a penis or a vagina shouldn\u2019t really matter\u2026should it?<\/p>\n

Let me know your thoughts and please give me any other info you have to make my list more complete. It would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
