LaBelle Winery: Amy LaBelle

October 03, 2022 • Episode 36

Amy LaBelle is a former corporate attorney turned winemaker after a trip to Nova Scotia dropped her into a little tiny winery with a blueberry wine that produced a spark. She says that in that little Canadian winery, she had an ah-ha moment that brought forth her life’s purpose. After lots of hard work and challenges along the way, LaBelle Winery now has three locations, about 250 employees, and is ever-expanding and changing, though Amy is still the ever-passionate winemaker behind it all.
