Naama Laufer is slightly obsessed with Portuguese wine..and with smiling. Raised around the world, she has always sought out ways to feel at home and in harmony with whatever situation she was dealt. A Politics Major from Brandeis, she stayed true to her studies (with a twist, of course). Her love for communication and engaging with people quickly drew her to the world of PR & Branding, where she has been perfecting the art of "getting it done" for the past 16 years, whatever the industry. Ten years ago, Naama created NLC Wines with her Portuguese husband, Luis, with a goal to bring to the US a unique selection of wines that deliver a Portugal rarely experienced before. They’re a bit crazy over indigenous grapes (and she is a fiend for older vintages), and a bit obsessed with educating just about everyone on the virtues of drinking Portuguese wine. They happily live and smile in New York with their two kids, three cats and an apple orchard.
