Women in Wine Festival — Presented by No Wine Left Behind

A festival amplifying the women who make, shape, and change the wine world.

On this International Women’s Day, No Wine Left Behind is making history. We’re taking over Le Du’s Wines in the West Village for our first‑ever Women in Wine Festival — a full‑day celebration of women winemakers, global storytelling, and the competitive blind tasting games you already know and love.

Women winemakers are flying in from all over the world to pour their wines, share their stories, and compete (yes, compete) in our signature multiple‑choice blind tasting battles. You’ll taste, guess, vote, and help crown the festival’s winning wine.

And the stakes? Very real.

Whichever wine wins the crowd vote will officially earn a spot on Le Du’s shelves.

Your palate decides the future.

Data Access for Producers & Trade

NWLB’s digital blind tasting doesn’t just make the festival fun — it generates anonymized insights that support producers, buyers, and the broader NYC wine ecosystem.

🍇 For Producers

Producers can opt into tiered data reports based on blind tasting results:

Tier 1 — Snapshot Report: A quick pulse check on how your wine performed.
Answers: Do New Yorkers like this wine enough to buy it?

Tier 2 — Market Signal Report: Breakdowns by audience type, price‑comfort insights, and “bias vs blind” comparisons.

Answers: Who is most likely to purchase this wine — and at what price point?

Tier 3 — NYC Placement Intelligence: Channel fit, neighborhood targeting, qualitative highlights, and pitch‑ready talking points.

Answers: Where should this wine actually live in the NYC market?

🧠 For Buyers, Sommeliers & Retail

Trade attendees can opt into Ranked Results Access, which includes:

• Top‑performing wines
• Filters for consumer vs. Trade favorites
• Wines guests would re‑buy or want stocked locally

This access does not include producer‑specific deep dives or sensitive pricing insights

Why This Festival Matters

This is more than a tasting. It’s a platform. A celebration. A moment.

We’re spotlighting the women who grow, ferment, innovate, and redefine what wine can be — and giving New Yorkers the chance to taste their work without pretense, gatekeeping, or the usual wine‑world stiffness.

It’s International Women’s Day.

It’s No Wine Left Behind.

It’s the first festival of its kind — and you’re part of the story.
