This week, we delve into the inspiring journey of Cynthia, a former international civil servant who, after a job loss, decided to embrace her passion for wine. Through her experiences navigating the male-dominated wine industry in France, Cynthia discovered a need for women-focused wine tastings and workshops. This led her to create a champagne networking club for women and to offer workshops empowering women to explore and understand their preferences and the technical aspects of wine. We also get a glimpse into the France trip Wendy is hosting in September. As this trip coincides with harvest season in Champagne, Cynthia will be offering insider access to experiences like grape picking and cellar tours. Tune in for a discussion on knowing what delights you, taking inspired action, and finding success beyond monetary measures.

Join Cynthia for the Women In History of Champagne Workshop on Sunday, Feb. 18th. Register here!
