Lauren has always enjoyed fine wine and craft cocktails from her first exposure to them in the service industry. While Lauren has experience in higher education, construction, and live entertainment, it was the opportunity to work at a local Missouri winery that solidified her passion for wine. At the winery, she spent the early part of her work week tending to the vines; the middle of the week bottling wine and loading pallets; and the end of her week was dedicated to serving customers and tending bar in the fine dining establishment located on the iconic bluff top in Rocheport, MO. Lauren is new to the sales and distribution side of our industry, but is thoroughly excited to expand her knowledge and develop an overall deeper understanding of the world of wine.
