11th Annual Wine Tasting - Celebrating Women in Wine
The lack of female representation and leadership in the wine industry has been the historical narrative. As recently as 2020, only 14 percent of California’s 4,200 wineries had a female head winemaker. Despite the obstacles, women have maneuvered to shape the industry into the glory it is today - dating back to 1152 with Eleanor of Aquitaine! Join us for a night that celebrates women in the wine business in the best way possible - tasting their wine!

About the Sommelier - Katherine Fetters
Katherine brings over 30 years in the Hospitality Industry to the table. She studied fine wines with the American Sommelier Association where she gained her certification. She was certified by the Master Court of Sommeliers which gave her the opportunity to work the floor of some of the best restaurants in New York City, such as Restaurant Alain Ducasse, River Cafe and Patria.
Focused on wine sales, she moved to Martin Scott Wines. Working as a wine consultant to the top on-and off-premise accounts in Northern New Jersey, gave her the opportunity to build boutique brands and explore the esoteric. When Winebow and Martin Scott merged, she evolved to concentrate on some of the best restaurants in New Jersey. Katherine is now working with Fedway Associates in their fine wine division, specializing in the boutique, esoteric, small-production grape growers and wine makers on the LUX Division.
