First Annual Gathering of the Wine Sisterhood | Women, Wine & Napa
March 4, 2012 – 2:34 pm
A wonderful ‘custom blend of women and wine’ took place last week on the ‘First Annual Wine Sisterhood Gathering.’ Thanks Wine Sisterhood for a great wine and women event!
The WINE SISTERHOOD is a wonderful group of women (and a few select Wine Misterhoods!) who create wonderful wines for women and created an online community where women can join the conversation about wine. (Join their over 100,000 Wine Sisterhood community on Facebook!) We’ve worked with them in the past since so many of us girlfriends enjoy a glass of wine with a friend – conversations just happen, and that’s a good thing!
Shown here are MARY ANN VANGRIN, TERRY WHEATLEY and NATALIE WASSUM (Co-founders of the Wine Sisterhood). LISTEN to our BlogTalkRadio interview with Mary Ann for more info into this great group of women and the fabulous Wine Sisterhood Gathering we shared in Napa last week! (For more info on their wines, check out the video below. And, check out this ‘pairing of books and wine‘ that Mary Ann share – great for your Book Club or just your favorite genre.)

Connecting and sharing life | Social media and it’s impact on friendships
October 26, 2009 – 7:38 am
I love social media. I love how it allows us to connect with others and share our lives.
I love too how it helps our friendships grow by knowing more about each other and being able to interact in our friend’s lives. Like yesterday … through Twitter I knew whom of my local friends was watching the Bengals game too. I knew my friend Carole ran into my friend Rob at church yesterday. I learned that several of my friends are fans of the wine I had for dinner. And I loved the commentary throughout the day on the games, shows and antics of my social media friends. Read More »
