Certified Master Sommelier, Court of Master Sommeliers
One of approximately 130 Certified Wine Educators in the World
When it comes to understanding the beauty, balance and grace of wine and food, Laura is one of the top minds in the world. (Yes, in the world.) One of only 130 Certified Master Sommeliers and Wine Educators on the planet, Laura sits on the Court of Master Sommeliers and lectures regularly about the world's wine regions, the techniques of preparing food and wine, and the skills of wine collecting.
Throughout her 17 year career, she has worked in top restaurants including La Tour and Sweet Basil in Vail, Boulder Wine Merchant and Flagstaff in Boulder, and Kimo's on Maui, to name a few. Along with her work with VinTabla, she is also a senior consultant for Small Vineyards Imports and finds inner balance and grace through her dedicated practice of Anusara yoga.

"She was encouraged to pursue the Master Sommelier accreditation by her mentors Wayne Belding and Sally Mohr of the Boulder Wine Merchant and achieved this coveted distinction of which only 78 Americans (including just 13 women) had attained prior to her success in 2005."
