As an emerging chapter, our story is only just beginning. We’re focused on how we hope to live out the Women for WineSense national mission rather than what we’ve accomplished so far.
Syracuse is a diverse city in every way. Being adjacent to New York’s Finger Lakes wine region, we have access to over 100 wineries, with numerous chapter members active in some aspect of the wine industry. This offers a wonderful opportunity to explore the cultural context of wine both internationally and as it impacts our own area. It’s also our aim to spotlight the many historical and contemporary women who have or are still shaping the industry today.
However, the majority of our members are wine journey newcomers. So we intend to foster the appreciation of wine through ongoing talks about fundamentals, as well as offer deeper dives for the growth of those who already have a good knowledge or are industry professionals. It’s also our hope to combat misinformation about wine with educational events that emphasize scientifically proven facts while demonstrating responsible consumption and developing friendships at engaging social gatherings.
