About

Hi, my name is Laura and I am excited to be your guide through the Vines!

I have loved travel, food and of course Wine and Champagne a long as I can remember.  

My family moved every 2 years growing up to follow my father’s career.

With each move came new friends, experiences and hobbies. I graduated college with a BA in Marketing and swore I would settle down in one spot, but learned very quickly that new places and adventures were in my blood.  I continued to move every couple of years as I followed a corporate career path with Hershey Chocolate, Clorox, and ATT Wireless.    

I was living in San Francisco when a friend asked me if I could live anywhere and do anything what would it be.   Without thinking, it was to live in FL  own my own business and settle into one location.  Within a few months, I was living in FL and starting on a new journey. 

I was fortunate to be able to travel a lot in the US when working in the corporate world, but now I had more time to explore new places abroad.  Trips to Italy, France, Belgium, Holland, FIGI, Honduras, Costa Rica, Grand Cayman, Virgin Islands, Barbados, and Bahamas among others ensued.

One thing I noticed with all the travel and living in new places… a love of Wine and Champagne was a common bond everywhere I went.  Some of the my most memorable moments have happened with a great bottle of wine and new friends!

While discussing all things Wine and Champagne, I hope to inspire all of you to look for the joy in life’s moments and to fearlessly go after your dreams.
