The Team

Co-owner / Wine Geek, Sommelier

Andre's passion for food & wine started at a young age being groomed by European parents. He quickly expanded by living in Napa-Sonoma and spearheading brand development for Jackson Family Wines and multiple artisan wineries. He recently started kicking Tx winery dirt via his wine consulting company, VinoCadre now based in Fredericksburg, Tx. Known for his bantering demeanor, he speaks at major events including Food & Wine Magazine nationally. That coupled with his freelance writing for Rock & Vine and a wine judge for many International wine competitions make him a leader in the industry. 

Andre holds the distinction of Advanced Sommelier from The Court of Master Sommeliers and welcomes you to explore his knowledge through his educational seminars.
