Food & wine have been lifelong passions for Andii. Growing up near the Finger Lakes wine region in Western NY afforded her the opportunity to explore the vines and styles of wines at a young age.   After a successful 20-year career in corporate America, she decided to pursue her passion for the grape upon completing WSET certifications under MS Peter Neptune in Southern California in 2014.

Andii joined Winebow-Imports in 2017 representing South American and Iberian Peninsula wines throughout Southern California with a specialization in Catena Zapata wines.  In 2020 she moved into her current role promoting the Pioneer premium & luxury program nationally where she champions notable stories from the most historic, innovative, and iconic wine-making families in the  Southern Hemisphere.

Andii has traveled throughout Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Chile, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand to gain first-hand & sip experience in the wines and regions she enjoys most.
