I have been visiting this link a lot in the past week: Women Winemakers of California
In James Conaway's book on Napa he mentions: "The most famous women winemaker was probably Mary Ann Graf, or her successor at Simi, Zelma Long. Then there was Jill Davis at Buena Vista, Cathy Corison at Chappellet, and Dawnine Dyer at Domaine Chandon."
These women entered a male dominated world and it is interesting to go to the Women Winemakers of California website to learn more about their biographies. Lucia and John Gilbert, both professors at Santa Clara University devised and host this site. Wines & Vines had an article about the site in it's oOtober 2011 issue. The article can be found here: Women Winemakers Go Online
