BETTER. IT IS GETTING BETTER. WE ARE UP TO ABOUT ALMOST 20% OF WINE MAKERS IN THE U.S. ARE NOW WOMEN. GREAT 9.20 ISH PERCENT AFTER SOME LEAH’S ARE WOMEN. >> I THINK WOMEN ARE REALLY MAKING THEIR MARK, BUT NOT ONLY IS WINEMAKERS, BUT

LEADING WINERIES OWNING WINERIES. AND CERTAINLY YOU’RE SEEING THEM AS SOME OF WIND DIRECTORS AND RESTAURANTS. AND, YOU KNOW, WOMEN ACTUALLY HAVE MORE TASTE BY PROVEN YALE UNIVERSITY IS THE FIRST CAME OUT OF THE STUDY ON THAT. >> SO THE ABILITY TO REALLY,

YOU KNOW, EXPERIMENTS WITH WINE ARE WOMEN ARE THE PERFECT, WANTS TO DO IT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AN 80% OF YOUR SMILE. YOUR CASE IS YOUR SNOUT. JUST A TUNE TO SO MANY MORE ALL FOR EXAMPLES HERE WE HAVE, EXAMPLE, IS YES, THEY’RE

HOW MUCH SUNLIGHT GETS THROUGH TO WRITE IN THE GREEN EGG SUGAR. SO MUCH. THEY WRITE THE GRAPES TO RIPEN SO THEY HAVE THE FLAVOR, BUT THEY’RE NOT OVERLY RIGHT. SO THAT WHEN THE EAST THOSE ANTI TRUMP TIME TRUMP AND TURN IT INTO

ALCOHOL, IT’S LOWER 80 CALORIES. AND I THINK THIS IS ABOUT 9 AND A HALF PERCENT ALCOHOL. AND I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS JUST BURSTING WITH TROPICAL CRASHING. YES, AND I JUST LOVE WHAT SHE’S DOING WITH THAT, OK? THAT’S FUN. AND
