*ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of proceeds from these totes goes to supporting women in the wine industry via producing the Bâtonnage Forum and ensuring that the event is accessible and affordable for all.
The Wine Merchant | Bay Grape
Within my first few months of moving to the Bay Area, I was lucky enough to stumble upon the recently-opened Bay Grape wine shop in Oakland, run by couple Stevie Stacionis and Josiah Baldivino. The bright and cheerful space, the incredible selection of wines, the friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the fun line-up of tasting events instantly won me over and have made Bay Grape a smashing success. Fast forward five years and Stevie and Josiah are not only about to open a comfort-food Italian restaurant called MAMA, but Stevie is also behind a second annual forum for women in the wine industry, which will take place this year on May 4th in Napa.

Wineries featured in the tote include A Tribute to Grace, Cattleya, Corison, Day, Diel, Inconnu, Iron Horse, L.A. Lepiane, Little Frances, Macari, March, Onward, Pewsey Vale, Raft, and Vasse Felix.
