Born and raised in New Hampshire, Amanda moved to California where she worked and trained as a sommelier, from there her passion for all Italian varieties came to life. Since making her home in Piedmont over ten years ago, she has made it her goal for more people to enjoy and understand the complicated landscape of Italian wines. Her favorite grapes are Grignolino, Nebbiolo, and Nerello Mascalese. When she’s not on tour or helping her husband in their vineyards, she is hosting food-themed dinner parties, or better yet the largest Halloween party the Langhe (Piedmont) has ever seen.
