Amherst, New Hampshire — Amy LaBelle, co-owner and winemaker at LaBelle Winery, which has locations in Amherst, Portsmouth and Derry, New Hampshire, has been named to NH Business Review’s list of 2021 Business Excellence Award winners.

Seventeen business owners and operators of both large and small companies (fewer than 100 or more than 100 employees) were chosen for the award in nine different categories, based on their initiative, creativity and determination resulting in the growth and success of their businesses.

LaBelle won in the consumer services category for a company with more than 100 employees.

“It’s such an honor to receive this award. My husband Cesar and the entire LaBelle Winery team have worked tirelessly to get us through the last year, and we are stronger for it,” LaBelle says. “Our heart and soul went into the execution of every creative idea we tried, allowing us to remain connected to the community and to provide our customers with goods and services during a difficult time.”

A banquet and ceremony honoring the 2021 Business Excellence Award Winners will be held on Oct. 6 at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord, New Hampshire, beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Profiles of the 2021 award recipients, more information about NH Business Review’s Business Excellence Awards, and tickets to the October 6 event are available on the magazine’s website.
