Nationwide — Jam Vino, the world’s first wine-infused gourmet jam, is redefining the specialty food space with a product that blends Southern heritage, culinary innovation, and ownership.
Founded by Dallas-based husband and wife team Chef Lorious Lori Rogers and Shane Rogers, Jam Vino has grown from a home kitchen recipe into a nationally recognized gourmet brand featured on major television platforms and inside elite celebrity gift lounges.
“We built Jam Vino from our family recipe and a vision to create something that did not exist in the market,” says Chef Lorious, who is the Founder and CEO of the brand. “Seeing families across the country enjoy it, from everyday kitchens to major award shows, means everything to us.”
From Kitchen Concept to Category Creator
Chef Lorious perfected her Calibama Cooking style, a blend of her Southern Alabama roots and Northern California upbringing, while working full-time as an accountant. A self-taught chef with a deep love for flavor and presentation, she began sharing recipes on YouTube and local television before publishing her cookbook, Calibama Cooking: Classic and Contemporary Comfort Food. She later became a recurring guest on Good Morning Texas.
Jam Vino was born during a Williams-Sonoma cooking demonstration when she layered her homemade wine-infused jam onto a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich. Guests repeatedly asked what made it different. The answer was simple. No one had ever tasted jam like that before.
That moment sparked the launch of an entirely new gourmet category.
Chef Lorious moved quickly into the consumer packaged goods space, sourcing premium fruit, refining recipes for scale, securing co-packers, and navigating food compliance. What started as a single demonstration evolved into a brand with national visibility.
Jam Vino has appeared on ABC’s The View and GMA3 and has been featured in luxury celebrity gift lounges during the Oscars, Emmys, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame events. The brand has also earned recognition from Food and Beverage Magazine and multiple national media outlets.
Everyday Luxury, Five Real Ingredients
Jam Vino is crafted with 100 percent real fruit and infused with the flavor profile of fine wine. The alcohol cooks down during production, making it family-friendly. Each jar contains just five natural ingredients and is vegan-friendly and gluten-free.
The result is a versatile gourmet product that pairs with cheese boards, pastries, toast, meats, and desserts. Jam Vino transforms simple meals into elevated experiences without complication.
Ownership, Representation, and Innovation
As a Black-owned, family-led company, Jam Vino represents more than flavor. It reflects ownership in an industry where representation matters. The brand stands as proof that innovation can emerge from tradition and that Black entrepreneurs continue to shape American food culture.
During Black History Month and beyond, Jam Vino invites media, retailers, and consumers to support brands building new lanes in the specialty food industry.
The Jam Vino collection includes three signature flavors: Strueberry Blanc, Blackberry Merlot, and Raspberry Moscato.
