My Story!
At Wine & Doodles, I believe life’s sweetest moments are made in connection—with people, with pets, and with the little rituals that bring us joy. Whether it’s sharing a bottle of wine with your best friend, toasting to new beginnings, or just curling up with your dog after a long day, these are the moments that matter most.
Founded by Damara Carlentine, Wine & Doodles was inspired by my journey of love, loss, resilience, and rediscovery. Alongside my career, I discovered a deep passion for entrepreneurship. I launched Wine & Doodles to combine two of my greatest loves—wine and my adorable Goldendoodles, Brownie & Boots.
What started as a love for custom wine glasses and doodle-themed delights has grown into something deeper: a heartfelt invitation to show people (and pups) they matter. Each gift from our shop—whether it’s a personalized glass, a cozy candle, or a curated box—carries a message of warmth, joy, and human connection.
More than just a brand, Wine & Doodles is a community—a little corner of the world where dog lovers and wine sippers come together to celebrate life, one meaningful moment at a time.
Our Mission
At Wine & Doodles, our mission is to spark joy, deepen connections, and make everyday moments unforgettable through heartfelt, personalized gifts.
We create wine-inspired and dog-loving delights—from custom glasses to curated boxes—that bring people closer, celebrate life’s little pleasures, and remind others they’re seen and loved.
But our purpose goes beyond gifting. We're passionate about giving back—donating products to local fundraisers, supporting community events, and partnering with causes that uplift families, pets, and neighborhoods. Because we believe the best gifts don’t just come in boxes—they come from the heart.

🐾 Brownie & Boots!
Say hello to the original inspiration and her adorable apprentice: Brownie & Boots—our official Chief Snuggle Officers and the furry heartbeat of Wine & Doodles!
Brownie, affectionately known as The Brownster Bear, Wigglebutt, and Sharkie, is our wise and loving Goldendoodle with a gift for giving the world’s best love kisses. Her cuddly charm, soulful eyes, and wagging tail are what inspired this entire brand—from the cozy vibes to the joyful energy baked into every gift.
Enter Boots, our fluffy new Goldendoodle pup with big paws to fill and even bigger dreams (mostly involving treats and squeaky toys). Boots brings a fresh spark of playful chaos and puppy joy to the family, reminding us to stay curious, stay goofy, and always chase the things that make us happiest.
Together, Brownie & Boots are the soul of Wine & Doodles—a reminder that life is better when it’s filled with love, laughter, paw prints… and of course, wine.
Every product we create is inspired by the happiness they bring and crafted to celebrate the unbreakable bond between people and their pups. We hope each gift spreads the same joy these two bring into our lives every single day.
