ANDIE ENGLAND

Born and raised a California girl, Andie England has lived the majority of her life along the beautiful coastlines of Southern California. Quite recently, she was hired with Ventana Vineyards as the Southern California Sales Representative with the task of increasing growth and awareness through distribution in the Southern California market.

At a young age, Andie realized that her true passions lie in food and wine which drew her to Scottsdale Culinary Institute, Le Cordon Bleu, AZ. Having graduated at the top of her class with a degree in Culinary Arts and Sciences with an emphasis in Restaurant Management, she took a year to travel the world, visiting several countries and cultures in search of finding the perfect marriage of food and wine.

On return to California, Andie worked with two major wine distributors. Over the past 8 years, working for both Young's Market Company and Regal Wine Company, she was able to continue educating herself learning the Southern California market while honing her skills and passions of wine with a level of enthusiasm that is truly contagious. Having passed the Level 1 Court of Masters Sommelier in 2005, Andie plans to expand upon the knowledge she brings with her to Ventana while continuing to grow and immerse herself in both the industry and the company.
