You might think there would be a comprehensive list of women winemakers in Oregon, or at least within each AVA (American Viticultural Area). But no such list existed.

After painstaking efforts, we assembled what we believed was a robust list of women winemakers in the Willamette Valley. Even though we knew we wouldn't capture everyone, we decided it was time to move forward with filming.
