Nasty Woman Wine is Wine With A Purpose

Leading up to the Presidential election in November 2016, when it looked like a USA woman was finally going to break through the glass ceiling, the Hillary Clinton fans, known as Pantsuit Nation, were bursting with excitement and hope. Women, and many men,  around the country were enthusiastic and hopeful that their own little girls would see the world with equality, on an even playing field. Then came the stunning door slam on the dream.

Meg Murray was no different. While crying her eyes out, Ms. Murray's 5 year old daughter, Matilda, put her arm around her mother, patting her back, and asked, "How old do I have to be to run for President?"  And, she quickly asked her parents to vote for her when she runs for president. A light went off in Ms. Murray head, Matilda said "when can I run," not IF I can run.  That is when Nasty Woman Wines, of McMinnville, Oregon, was born.

"NASTY WOMAN WINES was launched that very day and the project was executed by the crowdsourced talents of some amazing Nasty Women and men who champion the Nasty Woman," states Ms. Murray. She calls her wines "unapologetically tasty." I can attest, I sampled the Pantsuit Pinot Noir. It is a delightful, traditional pinot from Oregon. Light violet in color, well balanced in fruit, with a velvety smooth finish. Sells for $25.

In addition to pinot noir, the Nasty Woman Wine collection includes the following:

Wine Club Special Release: Inaugural Pave The Way Chardonnay Willamette Valley $30.
Not your everyday Chardonnay. This wine balances depth and complexity of fruit with a rounded edge and a kiss of oak. She is clear and well-spoken, easy to understand and firm in her beliefs.

Represent Red-This wine has a voice. Its beautiful aroma of blackberries and cocoa will delight. Its rich, dark fruit will make you stop and listen carefully. She will move you to action. Now, this is a wine, with a purpose.
