Bio:
Art is how Jared Hooper, wine director of Faith & Flower, got his start in wine. While assisting the late sculptor and vintner Walter Channing in Long Island, Hooper was introduced to the artist’s Channing Daughters winery and crew. He ended up working harvest and the tasting room for years before taking the leap to restaurant service as lead sommelier at The Laundry Restaurant in East Hampton. Since arriving in Los Angeles, he’s managed to stay busy, running the wine programs at Noir Food & Wine (which closed in 2013), award-winning Royce at The Langham and blingy Hakkasan Beverly Hills, before making the move Downtown to the corner of Ninth and Flower.
