Beautiful photo of Constance Savage.

In Memoriam: Constance Savage, Former COO of L'Ecole No. 41

January 4, 2024

It brings me great sadness to share the passing of Connie (Constance) Savage-Frokic. Constance was a cherished friend, an astute business woman, a devoted wife and loving mother. She understood the strategic workings of the wine industry and cherished the relationships that she developed with all of you. Hired in 2018, I was fortunate to know Constance with her role as Chief Operating Officer at L’Ecole No. 41. Prior to that job Constance worked for Kobrand, being in charge of some of the finest wine brands of the world.

I had many phone calls and emails with Constance as well as some precious time tasting together. She had a tremendous palate, having tasted the finest wines of the world — many times over! She loved her top Italian wines in particular, having tasted vertical that would blow your mind. She had a kindness and presence that I will not soon forget.

Constance was a devoted mother and loved spending time at home with her family and particularly enjoyed gardening. The wine community welcomes you to attend her celebration of life in in Walla Walla on February 4th at L’Ecole’s Schoolhouse in Lowden, WA.

Please keep Connie’s family, husband Leopold, daughter Eleonora, son Luka, daughter Emilia, her parents, Thomas and Coleen Savage, her brother and his wife, Cory and Shelly Savage, her sister, Christa Mesz, and her husband, Bryan, as well as her sister, Carla Bleil in your hearts and prayers during this difficult time. May Constance’s memory be a blessing to all who knew her.
