3 days until bidding opens, and you can sign up now so you’re ready on Saturday morning.

On the block this year: Sonoma’s West County through the eyes of three w**emakers, and four tickets to Black Vines, Berkeley’s celebration of Black w**emakers.

Every bid helps a w**e professional take the next step in their education.

4 days to go.

Many jobs in w**e and hospitality pay less than similar roles in other industries, and that gap hits women and people of color hardest. Our scholarships help close it, and this auction is how we fund them.

Two lots we’re excited about: a two-day Paso Robles trip for four with the pioneers of regenerative w**emaking, and a behind-the-scenes visit with Bob Cabral in Sonoma.

5 days until the 2026 GWEF Online Auction opens. 🎉

This auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and every dollar goes toward scholarships for w**e and hospitality professionals who are ready to grow but can’t cover the cost of w**e education on their own.

A preview of what’s up for bid: a three-day retreat at Ch*****ne de Lossy in France, and dinner for four with w**e pairings at Gramercy Tavern in New York.

Bidding opens Saturday, Oct 31st.

What an afternoon under the tent! Thank you to K&L W**e Merchants for including the Glancy W**e Education Foundation in this year’s Ch*****ne Tent Event in San Francisco, where a portion of the proceeds supports our scholarships.

Board member Kimberly Charles represented the Foundation, talking with guests about our work between pours. Growers flew in from France to share their w**es alongside the big houses, and David Glancy MS led Ch*****ne seminars throughout the day.

Every ticket helps fund w**e education for underserved and minority professionals in the w**e and hospitality industry. Thank you to everyone who came out and raised a glass with us.

🎉 We’re celebrating 6 years of the Glancy W**e Education Foundation!

In that time, we’ve awarded 303 scholarships totaling over $405,000 to help aspiring w**e professionals from underserved communities across the U.S. pursue their dreams. The average award is $1,477, real, meaningful support that makes w**e education more accessible.

We couldn’t do this without our incredible partner schools, helping us expand our national reach:

🍷 **eschool
🍷 International W**e Center
🍷 American W**e School

We’re proud to be building a more diverse, inclusive, and sustainable future for the w**e industry, one scholarship at a time.

Behind every glass poured is someone working to build a career in hospitality.

The average restaurant worker earns around $15 an hour before tips. Income that varies by shift, by season, by the economy.

For people working those hours, a WSET certification or a Court of Master Sommeliers credential isn’t a luxury.
It can be a difference between a job and a career. But the coursework costs money most hospitality workers don’t have.

That’s the gap the Glancy W**e Education Foundation works to close.

Your support makes it possible.

This Pride Month, we’re celebrating Jerry McGie, CMS Certified Sommelier and W**e Director at Dalida & Maria Isabel Restaurants in San Francisco.

Jerry’s approach to w**e education is refreshingly real: certifications matter, but the most valuable learning happens outside the classroom. Work a harvest. Befriend a w**emaker. Walk into a wildly obscure w**e bar and order something you’ve never heard of. And if you really want to understand a w**e, try pairing it with a song. On Dolly Parton’s 80th birthday, Jerry paired “Jolene” with a 2018 Chateau Musar from Lebanon — big, gritty, soulful, and unforgettable. Just like Dolly.

We love spotlighting professionals who forge their own path and bring creativity and joy to this industry. Jerry is exactly that.

Follow Jerry on Instagram Jerry McGie and find him pouring something unexpected at Dalida or Maria Isabel.

This Pride Month, we’re celebrating Terah Bajjalieh — w**emaker, founder of Terah W**e Co., and a fearless voice for inclusion in the w**e world.

Named one of W**e Enthusiast’s Future 40 Tastemakers in 2024, Terah has built her label from the ground up, crafting w**es that reflect her passion and her point of view. She believes w**e education opens doors for people who’ve historically been told there wasn’t a seat at the table for them. Credentials matter. Community matters more.

The Glancy W**e Education Foundation funds scholarships for aspiring w**e and hospitality professionals — because we believe talent and passion should determine who gets ahead, not access to resources. People like Terah inspire that work every day.

We’re proud to shine a light on her work and her words this month and every month.

🍷 Explore her w**es and join her w**e club at terahw**eco.com
