WIS Spotlight: Stephanie Franklin
About Stephanie Franklin of Franklin Vines
I’m Stephanie Franklin, a future vintner and future vineyard owner!
I decided to turn my passion for wine into a business. After studying WSET level 3, my vision was much clearer. I knew becoming a winemaker and starting a Texas vineyard was in my future. Yes, that's HUGE goal, but I know I'll get there. Who knows, maybe I'll test to become a Sommelier!
After years of working in Corporate Marketing, Insurance and Non-profit organizations, I decided to do what I love. WINE! What I’ve learned during my wine journey is that, there are no written handbooks and no orderly steps to follow. Your journey is YOUR journey. I’m enjoying finding my way and learning during the process.
I currently work as a wine consultant and I host wine tastings and wine education events. Contact franklinvines@gmail.com to host your next event and for collaboration opportunities. I’m super excited about my future in wine and to bring more diversity into the wine industry!
Favorite Spirit and/or Cocktail
Malbec is my favorite wine varietal. Luigi Bosca Malbec is one of my favorites.
