We write all of the descriptions on our wines at my store, and always try to mention it when a woman is the winemaker. Some people like to think of wine as a faceless bottle of product, while others prefer to know the back story because they like discussing what they are drinking. Plus, if it's good, it keeps their attention and inspires curiosity. Joel, I would say they are “focussing” not “limiting”.

No over-the-top "women are underrepresented" stuff, just good discussions and good wine.

We are also responsible for a tiny percent of the wine consumed in this country / on this planet, even if it feels like we are in the middle of the wine world at times. Sitting as we are on an island in a sea of mass produced wine, it can be easy to forget that most people have no idea who actually made the wine they drink. From my point of view on this island, any wine bar, restaurant or retail outlet that promotes an awareness of the fact that the best wine results from the efforts of individuals instead of faceless companies is a great thing. I hope the bar is concentrating on telling the stories of the women who make the wine and not just banking on their sex to bring people in the door.

In fact, I was supposed to meet Christy Frank there the evening in question and, well, I had to close up my own wine shop and the ladies were already at Anfora by the time I got to the West Village (bad sign?). I was surprised to find out that Aria is owned by a guy. If the wine list gets more interesting I am game to give it a try! I think it is an interesting concept, although I have not been yet.
