This is the most honest conversation to occur on Wine Talks. Tracy is unabashed at exploring her lifestyle and her path to be an executive with a public wine company. 

This was such a refreshing interview that we left the door open to regroup down the road as the landscape in the wine sector shifts towards an inclusionary perspective. The wine sector has been dominated by males both in ancient and modern times. Certainly patriarchal societies such as the Italian and French lent themselves to the new world of wine; North and South America, Australia, and more but inroads are being made to level the playing field for women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ community. 

You will be taken by Tracey's knowledge of not only wine but business and life. Her perspective on life is shaped by not only her gender but also being a mother to a daughter of color and a Guatemalan son. I think you will find her personality intriguing and insightful.
