Originally from NY, Lauren’s passion for wine ignited during the years she spent at a biodynamic winery on Long Island. She moved to NYC in 2011 to work for importer Jenny & François where she brought natural wine to the masses for over a decade. In 2021, change brought her to Charleston; she’s delighted to continue her journey with Grassroots, rejuvenate her love affair with wine, and remember the “why” – culture, community, history, travel, nature & joy.
