As an owner in the food industry, I take your words at their face value. I believe you. I strive to give the ladies in my employ a safe work environment, and several have told me horror stories of past jobs. It's so disheartening, but I'll thrilled to be able to provide something different. Keep speaking up!

Margaret, I admire your bravery in telling your story. Thank you for sharing. As a fellow woman in wine, I too have a cache of stories to tell that are eerily similar. When will our industry wake up?? Much love to you, sister.

I have been violently assaulted by a winemaker, stalked, touched inappropriately, talked over, talk down to, and so forth. I hate men in wine.

I hate that for you, sister. It’s a tough choice to stay in something you have decades of experience in, just to continuously put yourself in the line of fire, also while reminding yourself none of it is your fault. Fuck.
