Deborah Brenner with her father, Edward Brenner. Women of the Vine Scholarship Fund "When I started my entrepreneurial endeav- or, I enticed my dad out of retirement to work with me. We worked together for seven years and I was blessed to have him lend his exper- tise and share his wisdom to guide me. Un- fortunately, my dad passed away four weeks before the Grand Tasting in Napa last year. We are proud to name the program in honor of Edward H. Brenner (my Man of the Vine) and to have it sponsored by Southern Wine & Spirits of America." — Deborah Brenner, Author & Founder, Women of the Vine Global Symposium In addition to sponsoring the Women of the Vine Global Symposium, Southern Wine & Spirits is also the Founding Sponsor of the Women of the Vine Tuition Assistance Program.
