Wines To Find, Ep 74, Guest: Laura Carpenter Wines: 2028 Semillon, 2020 White Zinfandel and 2018 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

We are joined by Laura Carpenter of Carpenter Wines to taste three of their offerings. Laura shares her journey from her beginnings in hospitality, to earning her Level Two Certification from the Court of Master Sommeliers to creating her own wines and label.

While Carpenter Wines are Laura’s baby, it is not a one-woman operation. Her husband, Jake Hawkes, is the winemaker. Sourcing grapes from their family farm in Alexander Valley, Carpenter Wines harkens back to a by-gone era of California wine country – before it became a massive tourist destination and was simply a community of farmers making and sharing excellent wine.

Everything about Carpenter Wines screams authenticity, love of land, family and a true desire to share that love with others through the craftsmanship of making wines that showcase the terroir of the land they cherish.

Carpenter Wines, known for their Pinot Noir, represent exactly what we love to share – wines with a story that will please the palate and heart! Listen to hear more – especially about Carpenter’s take on that 80’s classic – white zinfandel — it’s not what you’re thinking!
