It\u2019s that time of year when we celebrate mom. Whether my actual mother or other mother-figures, there are so many wonderful women in my life that I admire and love to celebrate. I hope that I provide the same inspiration for my children and others that I \u201cmother.\u201d Ahem\u2026the correct answer for Thing 1 and Thing 2 is\u2026 At any rate, given that so much of my interest in wine comes from the stories behind the wine, I was thrilled to find some mother-daughter duos doing their thing in wine. Even better that they are crafting delicious, swoon-worthy wines. Here are a couple of mother-daughter wine teams that are worth checking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
I still remember the first time that I tried<\/strong><\/a> Lail Vineyards\u2019 Blueprint Sauvignon Blanc. The experience stood out for a couple of reasons. First, I don\u2019t always love Sauvignon Blanc and I really enjoyed this one. The second reason the Lail Blueprint SB stood out was when I read more about the woman behind the wine. There was some serious wine royalty in that bottle. Owner Robin Daniel Lail can trace her heritage back to 1879 when her great-grand uncle founded Inglenook Vineyards.\u00a0The family winemaking heritage was carried forward many years later by Robin\u2019s father John Daniel, Jr. and then on to Robin. She inherited her father\u2019s passion for wine and has had a hand in some of the most prestigious brands in California. She worked as the personal assistant to Robert Mondavi, co-founded Dominus Estate with Christian Moueix, and co-founded Merryvale Vineyards with Bill Harlan, where she served as president for a decade. Then she turned to her own venture, Lail Vineyards<\/a>, which she founded with her two daughters Erin and Shannon, in 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
