“There will definitely be some 100% not politically correct storytelling.” Terry Wheatley is not just the first female president of Vintage Wine Estates (VWE), she’s also the first female president in the wine industry to take a company public. This, she says, is the highlight of her career. “As I rose in my career over the years, I made it a goal to break some plates and open doors for women coming up after me. … I share this with many other top female leaders in our business who have also forged the way,” Wheatley comments during an interview with Wine Industry Advisor. If that all isn’t impressive enough, as of 2020, Wheatley is also serving as the chairwoman of the board for CannaCraft, which represents one of the largest portfolios of cannabis brands and products. It’s a position she says complements—not competes—with her wine industry career and goals. “Although our two cultures—wine and cannabis—may d

In 2021 Enoforum comes to the U.S. for the first time. Fattoria La Vialla is a family-owned winery, with vineyards in Lombardy, Marche, and Sicily—all of which are certified organic and biodynamic. “The style of the wines is strictly respectful of terroir,” Cervellera said. “Therefore, the first rule is respect for the soil and its fertility.” Cervellera has participated in Enoforum as both a speaker and a spectator and says his main purpose for attending each y
