Why Winemakers Are Trading Their Wood Vats for Glass Globes
A French company has created a new way to vinify and age wine with glass orbs. We talk to winemakers around the world about their effect.
According to one study, approximately 14% of winemakers in California are women.
For my Women in Wine article, in conjunction with #IWD2025, I interviewed the two winemakers from Sonoma-Cutrer. #wine #winemakers

"Grgich left Croatia in 1954 with a few U.S. dollars hidden in his shoe and a suitcase full of wine-making books. That suitcase, along with his trademark beret and a bottle of chardonnay, are now housed at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington."

Miljenko 'Mike' Grgich, an immigrant who put Napa Valley on the world's wine map, dies at 100
Miljenko โMikeโ Grgich, a celebrated winemaker who helped establish Napa Valley as one of the worldโs premier wine-making regions, has died. He was 100. Grgich's Rutherford, California, winery, Grgich Hills, said he died Wednesday. Grgich was born in Croatia. He made his way to California in 1958 and worked in several wineries there before joining Chateau Montelena in 1972. Four years later, his chardonnay was judged the best in a blind tasting in Paris, shocking the wine world. Grgich founded his own winery, Grgich Hills Estate, in 1977 and led it until 2018.

Now, we want to shine a light on how our Westside Wine Trail community has supported one another during these challenging times by amplifying their voices and documenting their stories of progress. Amidst this devastating wildfire that consumed over 180 structures and forced thousands to evacuate, our wineries and team members exhibited remarkable resilience, solidarity, and compassion.
Now they face economic uncertainties with their neighbouring businesses and need support from their Okanagan community and beyond. Show your support for the Westside by buying Okanagan wines, joining wine clubs, contributing to local relief efforts, booking visits for the fall, and considering online gift card purchases for future experiences or loved ones.

**Please note that West Kelowna is still under Emergency order travel restrictions, however many of our wineshops have chosen to cautiously open - information regarding hours and restrictions is saved under the wildfire story highlight on our page.**
