Trusted Source Retailer Award

So many people ask us for recommendations of a great wine store. With that in mind, Women & Wine™ has created the Women & Wine Trusted Source Retailer Award for wine stores that provide knowledgeable staff and a broad selection of wines – stores that work hard to earn your business and loyalty. If you’d like to nominate your favorite neighborhood wine retailer, click here. Deadline for applications is April 30; awards will be announced on our site on May 31st.

Recent Findings on Wine & Culinary Travel

The Travel Industry Association just released statistics indicating that in 2006, 16% of Americans included a wine or culinary-related component in their travels. That number is projected to increase to 60% in the next 18 months. Having just returned from a two week trip to Argentina and Chile, I can tell you that visiting wine country renews the soul. Would you like to focus on wine or food during your next trip? Let W&W plan your itinerary. W&W members plan your trip by April 15th (for travel any time in 2007) and we’ll waive our $150 Trip Concierge Fee.
