LaBelle to partner with firm for The Winemaker’s Kitchen Show

AMHERST – Winemaker Amy LaBelle – founder of and winemaker at LaBelle Winery of Amherst, Derry and Portsmouth, will partner with Emmy Award-winning producer Kerri Zane to produce a lifestyle show based on LaBelle’s life as a winemaker, entrepreneur, artisan chef, wife and mom of two teenaged sons.

Zane is a reality TV show development expert, internationally recognized speaker, spokesperson and No. 1 fiction best-selling author. Over the course of her media career, Zane has served as executive producer for numerous television series, and ran one of the top female-owned production companies in Hollywood.

“I’m so excited to share this entrepreneurial journey with you all and my love of wine, food and family and help people learn to feed their families healthy, fast and delicious meals that are budget-friendly and time-saving – a must in today’s society,” LaBelle said.

The lifestyle show will take place at LaBelle Winery, which features two restaurants, three wine tasting rooms, two event centers, a French-styled food market, a golf course and two vineyards across Southern New Hampshire and at LaBelle’s home.

LaBelle also owns and develops all products for The Winemaker’s Kitchen, a specialty wine-infused food line.

Over two days, Zane’s team caught the spirit of what will be The Winemaker’s Kitchen show in Amherst. The Winemaker’s Kitchen will provide recipes, culinary tips and tricks from the perspective of a winemaker and an artisan chef, as well as wine education in a fun, gorgeous vineyard setting.

LaBelle prioritizes putting fresh, made-from-scratch meals on the table every night for her family, despite her busy schedule, and she’ll show how to do the same in the TV-show being pitched.

LaBelle’s passion is education. Her weekly “Cooking with Wine” classes, “Introduction to Wine” seminars, and “Wine Pairings” classes have kept LaBelle Winery at the forefront of wine education for the last 10 years. In the process, LaBelle has established herself as a well-known and sought-after educator.
