    Nov 7 2024
    After Graduating from UC Davis with a Chemistry degree in 2009, Jennie Murphy found herself in the wine industry by accident. She decided to take a harvest internship Korbel Champagne Cellars after her dreams of becoming a Forensic Scientist were quickly diminished due to a delicate economy. It was love at first sight, and after Korbel, she found an Enologist role at Paul Hobbs Wines. Here she would stay for the next twelve years, eventually growing in to the role of Director of Winemaking, and learning how to craft wines full of character and nuance.Jennie is a firm believer that each wine should be unique and allowed to tell its own story. In 2022, she formed her own label called Oxlee Graham Wines, which is named for her two grandmothers. With her new label, Jennie hopes to continue to explore varietals and winemaking areas that exemplify that creative and individualistic spirit.

  • Marilee Bramhall of Iola Wines

    Marilee Bramhall of Iola Wines
    Oct 10 2024

    Marilee Bramhall is doing her part to change the wine world's status quo. Although up to 80% of wine purchases in the U.S. are made by women; only 15% of the winemakers worldwide are women. Her company, Iola Wines, champions women vigneronnes who are every bit as talented as their French and Italian brethren by sharing their wines through the Iola Wine Society Wine Clubs.

    The idea of Iola Wines came to Marilee Bramhall after years of working in the Washington and California wine industry, studying and traveling the wine regions of Europe, and completing with Highest Honors certifications for French and Italian Wine Scholar and WSET L3 with Merit.

    The brand is set apart by a sophisticated style of old-world wines from France and Italy, made with little to no intervention. Youll often find Marilee hosting wine tastings and educating attendees about the history and stories behind the wines.
