I feel special. This weekend, I’ll be a guest of Wine Sisterhood at their first annual Gathering of women in wine.  Three and a half days of wine tasting, food pairing, social media sessions and merry making with other thirsty wine loving women is the perfect working vacation before SXSW.

I’m looking forward to the Food and Wine Pairing session with Thirsty Girl and wine media personality Leslie Sbrocco. And can’t wait to meet Christine Trice from OMG I so need a glass of wine or I’m gonna sell my kids,  I don’t even have kids and have felt this way, oh so many times. LOL Healthy lifestyle personality, Sonia Hunt will be there, as will Extraordinary Mommy vBlogger Danielle Smith and my hero and friend Aliza Sherman

The agenda includes a visit to Bottega in Yountville, the Kitchen Door at the Oxbow Market in Napa, enjoying Swanson Winery for a VIP tasting and attending a blending seminar at Conn Creek Vineyards. There is even a meet & greet and dinner with some amazing female winemakers in the barrel room of the Black Stallion Winery, an olive oil tasting at Round Pond Estate and a gala dinner at Farmstead Restaurant in St. Helena.

I think you can still get in on the action HERE.  Don’t worry, if you can’t make the Gathering this year. I will be live blogging/Tweeting/Trovering/4SQing the whole thing so you can can follow right along here.
