And this new DC directory will help.
listing names, titles, and Instagram handles for more than 80 female sommeliers plus wine business owners, educators, and consultants across the DC area.
For Duran, it was ultimately about much more than one local critic’s off-the-cuff comments—”Tom answered the reader’s question the best way that he could in that moment. I get it, it’s a live chat, right?” Rather, it’s become an opportunity to shine a brighter spotlight on the women shaping the local wine scene. She wants to make sure everyone—diners, industry colleagues, and certainly media—knows their names.
“There’s so many bottles of wine that get opened by women every single day… But do they get any acknowledgement for the work that they were doing?,” says Duran, who was previously general manager at. “The restaurant gets all the credit. The chef gets a lot of credit. And they’re just never really acknowledged in a larger way.”
Erika Parjus, a 26-year-old somm who works with Duran at Bottles Wine Garden, was among those who contributed to the list. Coming up in male-dominated industry, Parjus feels she’s had to work harder than some of her counterparts to pay her dues and prove herself. She’s also dealt with casual sexism from customers, such as comments about why she’s wearing a suit and not a dress. And as a queer woman specifically, she’s feared having to “play a certain part” to be successful.
“Women in wine need to get their voices out there. They need to have their names spoken,” she says. “Because at the end of the day, people always remember the the cute male sommelier who served them a wine, but when it happens to be a woman, for whatever reason, it just gets kind of lost in translation.”
