WELCOME TO CARLOS’ FOOD & WINE

Naturally Curious

Home: Welcome

CARLOS SARMIENTO - FOOD, WINE AND MORE.

For years, I have served as a helpful role to those seeking inspiration, help, or advice. In 2020, I finally decided to own that role and be intentional about it. I started writing about my passions, my thoughts, and curious wonderings about our society.
I founded Carlos’ Food & Wine with a mission to give others a taste of what goes on in my mind, what inspires me and to share in the flavors we find in our cultures.
Let’s get cooking! Cheers!
