74 recipients were awarded a financial scholarship in the collective amount of $174,700 during this year’s round of applications for Women of the Vine & Spirits Foundation and I was one of those 74 candidates. My award was supported by Patron Donor, E & J Gallo Winery for Women Behind the Wine in the Fuel Your Dreams category and will be applied to my WSET II class next month. The foundation is certified women-owned and based in Piermont, New York.
