“They emailed an invitation to go to the awards, but there was no way I could go,” says Stanley. “At that time, I had no extra money and was barely holding this place together.

So, I blew it off.” Three days before the ceremony they emailed to say that they had created a new category for value wines, and that she was a finalist.
