110: Wine, Women, and Wisdom: Uncorking Success and Empowering Female Winemakers with Marilee Bramhall, Iola Wines

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Marilee Bramhall, the inspiring founder of Iola Wines and the Iola Wine Society. Marilee is on a mission to bring more diversity and passion into the wine industry by highlighting the incredible work of female winemakers in France and Italy. In our conversation, we dive deep into Marilee's journey from the corporate wine world to creating her own business that champions women in wine. We explore the fascinating concept of terroir and how the environment shapes the flavor and character of the wines Marilee sources. Marilee also shares some insider knowledge about the differences between Left and Right Bank Bordeaux wines, the beauty of Italian white wines, and the rich history of Champagne. But this episode isn't just about wine—it's about connection, community, and the power of women. Marilee and I discuss the importance of savoring life's moments, whether it's through a glass of wine or the meaningful relationships we build along the way. If you're passionate about wine, empowering women, or simply love a good story, you won't want to miss this episode.   Get access to all the resources mentioned in the interview: https://go.vixengathering.com/podcast/110-wine-women-and-wisdom-uncorking-success-and-empowering-female-winemakers-with-marilee-bramhall-iola-wines/
