Andrea Robinson's A List

Andrea is one of only 16 women in the world who have been appointed Master Sommelier by the prestigious Court of Master Sommeliers. She was the first woman ever chosen Best Sommelier in the United States by the Sommelier Society of America.


This is the perfect wine club for the foodie wine lover. Each month you receive three bottles accompanied with a recipes that is paired with each bottle. She also includes tasting notes and a web video tasting lesson covering the three wines and recipes. Andrea sends wines that are so amazing they have excelled in blind tastings against benchmark bottles that are twice as expensive or more!


Check it out. A great way to learn about wine and food pairing.
