Today is the 100th International Women’s Day–the perfect opportunity, we felt, to highlight the achievements of some of the wine world’s most important women.
From winery owners to winemakers to critics to journalists, a significant portion of the wine industry’s leaders are, in fact, women. So to figure out who stands above the rest, we assembled a panel of winemakers, journalists, sommeliers and other successful wine professionals, and asked each of them to name the five most important women in wine of all time (See the panel below). Dozens of women were named, but three in particular received the greatest number of votes from our panel for their contributions to the wine world:
• Jancis Robinson: The runaway winner, she’s a Master of Wine, author of several books and writer of a weekly Financial Times column that’s considered to be the pinnacle of wine journalism. She’s one of the most respected, level-headed wine critics in the world.
• Zelma Long: She’s perhaps the greatest consultant winemaker you’ve never heard of–a winemaker’s winemaker who got more votes from our panel than Helen Turley, Heidi Barrett or Philippine de Rothschild. Long was Robert Mondavi’s head enologist through the ’70s,

Anna, the daughter of friends of mine, is in her final year at university and keen to enter the wine trade. Clearly, she is wise beyond her years because it’s a hugely engaging career. She will never get rich but will always be happy. Oh, and a glass of something tasty will never be far away, and nor will someone congenial with whom to share it.
Wine is made in beautiful places – just think of Bordeaux, the Douro Valley, Western Cape, Yarra Valley, Napa, Piedmont, Mendoza, Central Otago and even the rolling South Downs of Sussex – by delightful people (well, with just the one exception). It’s a warm, friendly and collaborative world to be in.
