A club for fun loving women (and men) who enjoy food, wine,(or other libations), laughter and getting together for a little "sanity" in their lives, all while giving back and leaving a legacy! With the rising cost of gas and restaurant prices, many women are replacing "girls' night out" with a more economical but equally entertaining "girls; night in." These popular gatherings at home offer women a much needed respite from their busy lives and multi-tasking schedules with the opportunity to eat, laugh and connect with one another.

Whether sipping wine in or out, join our W.I.N.O.S. Buddies Club^TM and share your passion for wine, eating, friendships and philanthropy!

ABOUT US

After raising four children, moving 15 times, working in both the corporate and consulting world, starting a women’s lacrosse team, being married to a globe-trotting husband who seems to never be home when a crises hits, sending the last two children off to college and losing both parents within a year and a half, I found myself home alone. I knew I wanted and needed some sanity at this particular crossroads in my life. Of course, I just happened to be drinking a glass of wine during my soul search. I visualized sanity as diving into a wine glass at the end of the day and before I knew it W.I.N.O.S.^™ was born.

Two years ago I debuted my first cookbook at the Atlanta Gift Mart, and now I have written four cookbooks, designed napkins, hats, tee-shirts, aprons, magnets and whatever else I could think of to keep myself occupied. I quickly realized I couldn’t do all this myself, so I hired a team of talented women who shared my vision. Soon, TEAM WINOS had showrooms and reps in Atlanta, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Columbus, Chicago, Minneapolis, Dallas, LA and Seattle. We went from zero to over 1,200 wholesale customers within a year. Whenever we had a booth at a wine festival or merchandise mart, women took one look at our logo with the woman diving into a wine glass and said "Sign Me Up!" That’s when the light bulb went off, and I thought we do need a club for all of us women in need of sanity.
