Encouraging Bright Futures

Women of the Vine & Spirits Scholarship Fund in
Honor of Edward H. Brenner

 

“When I started my entrepreneurial endeavor, I enticed my dad out of retirement to work with me. We worked together for seven years and I was blessed to have him lend his expertise and share his wisdom to guide me. Unfortunately, my dad passed away in 2014, just four weeks before we held the first ever Women of the Vine Grand Tasting in Napa. His unwavering support gave me the courage to step up and step out. As a father of three daughters and grandfather of three granddaughters, I am honored to name the scholarship after my Man of the Vine!” – Deborah Brenner, Founder & CEO, Women of the Vine & Spirits

In addition to being the Founding Partner of the Women of the Vine & Spirits, Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits is the Founding Partner of Women of the Vine & Spirits Scholarship Fund.

“We are proud to be a part of this group that is dedicated to celebrating achievements and advancement of women in the business.” – Steve Slater, Executive Vice President, General Manager of the Wine Division, Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits.
