Happy Wine Wednesday! Or, as we call it around here, Wine Women Wednesday. It felt so good to share Michele Padberg’s story with you as we kicked off the series for 2020. As I love to share stories of women in all aspects of the […]

Happy Wine Wednesday! This is an exciting (and long time coming) day for Along Comes Mary as we welcome back our Wine Women Wednesday series. Last year after an incredible visit to several wine countries in Oregon, I was inspired by the number of women I met […]
