Did you know that 90% of the wine made in the U.S. is produced in California, but only 10% of the state’s wineries are led by female winemakers? Jill Russell didn't let those discouraging stats stop her from pursuing her winemaker dreams. Today, she has a seat at the table at the women-owned, women-led Cambria Estate Winery—one of the few wineries that are tipping the male-dominated industry stats in the right direction. In this episode, we sit down with Cambria’s lead winemaker to learn how she worked her way up from the bottom to shatter the wine industry’s glass ceiling and land her dream job.
