“I fell in love with the Clementine Carter wines the first time I tasted them with Laura. Not only were they incredible wines, but the winemaker Sonja and I shared a similar story. We've both endured so much to get to where we are today, and we are both proud to be 100% female owners of the businesses we stand behind. Her wines are incredible! She's talented and has grit. What started as a small patch of dirt turned into something much more meaningful. As Sonja says, “My original pursuit was to better understand the paths toward peace, II do that now through wine.” I'm on a similar journey as the sole owner of Sur Lie and now my second restaurant, Gather, in Yarmouth.” - Krista Cole
