Chief Enthusiastic Officer Shanin Martin (left) certainly makes an impression! She is shown enjoying the nose of the tasty Bluenose Zinfandel from Brasset Cellars of Healdsburg at ZAP San Francisco in January.

The logo for her organization, Wild Women on Wine (& the men who love them) originally commemorated a special annual trip taken by six close friends. Soon twelve buddies were meeting once each month, and women from out of the area wanted to participate too. This non-profit group now has chapters around the country, promoting fun with wine and life.

As Shanin says, everyone has shared a lot of ups and downs together, but the best part is all the stuff in the middle. Check out membership information and the merchandise too, at www.wildwomenonwine.com.
