Kasey Carpenter

Kasey Carpenter, like so many before him, came to the wine industry by way of the IT sector. Disenchanted with sitting behind a screen for 10 hours a day, he remembered how he enjoyed the selling and education of wine while waiting tables. So he ditched the suit and tie world for a life of wine. Working in one of Dallas' premiere retail accounts, he fast learned the value of tasting and recalling each and every wine, using to great success in catering to some of Dallas' most discriminating cork dorks.

After his career in retail played itself out, he went on to work for a small boutique distributor in Dallas, and while paying his rent selling some of the most gorgeous Pinots of Oregon, found himself the winner of a trip to Oregon's famed Pinot Camp. While there he learned of a need for a dedicated broker in Texas, and upon returning home, hatched his plans and his been a broker ever since.

Ever the hockey fan, he received his big "break" in wine writing with a simple interview of Mike Modano for Wine Spectator, which has since opened doors to many avenues of writing. Capitalizing on his history as a wine buyer and broker, and his newfound passion for writing, Kasey delves into his decade of wine experience here with Classic Wines specifically to answer your questions and give you tips on investing in wine, not just as a drink, but as the tradable commodity it is.

If every one would play nice and follow the rules, or better yet, some sense of morality, I'd be writing about something else. Beware of the Banfi. Okay, it may not all be Banfi, in fact the Tuscan newspaper Corriere...read more
