Robin McBride, Co-Founder of McBride Sisters Wine Company, has dedicated more than 20 years to building her career as an entrepreneur in wine. Together with her sister, Andrea, the duo began as importers of New Zealand wine before evolving into wine producers, innovators, and strategic brand marketers.
Today, the Sisters’ company owns McBride Sisters Collection Wines, specializing in light, coastal wines from the regions where each sister grew up, the Central Coast of California and the islands of New Zealand. Their Black Girl Magic Wines portfolio is a bold, culture-driven collection that became one of the fastest-growing brands in the country just one year after its 2018 launch.
In addition, their SHE CAN Collective, launched in 2019 is now a network of more than 5,000 women created to ensure that women both inside and outside of the wine industry have the resources and support needed to advance their careers and thrive in historically male dominated spaces.
Robin remains committed to the people, the places and connections that make what she does so important and to continue paving the way for the longevity, and the future, of a diverse and thriving wine industry.
Andréa serves as CEO of McBride Sisters Wine Company, a multinational organization headquartered in Oakland, California. It is in the top 1% of volume, largest Black-owned and largest women founded wine company in the United States, as well as one of the most inclusive, accessible, and socially aware. With her sister Robin, Andréa began importing wines from New Zealand in 2005 and began making their own wine together in 2009. By spring 2017, the pair were producing wine from their hometowns in Aotearoa New Zealand and California under one label, McBride Sisters Collection.
In 2018, they launched Black Girl Magic Wines, a celebratory wine brand paying homage to women in their family and community, and debuted SHE CAN Wines, a premium canned wine in 2019 on International Women’s Day.
Andréa serves as a Board Member for McBride Sisters SHE CAN Professional Development Fund which she founded in 2019 with her sister Robin. Since its inception the fund has awarded over $3M in scholarships, grants and technical training to 3,000 professional women in wine & spirits, hospitality and finance. In 2021 the fund partnered with Southern University of Louisiana as their flagship HBCU, to create a career pipeline for diverse students into the wine industry.
Andréa and Robin were the first Black women Winery owners on the cover of Wine Enthusiast magazine, she has been recognized as one of Wine Enthusiast’s 40 Under 40 and has been nominated for the Wine Star Award US Winery of the Year 2021.
Andréa holds her B.A. in International Relations with a concentration in Global Business from the University of Southern California 2007. She is a member of the 2022 Class of Henry Crown Fellows within the Aspen Global Leadership Network at the Aspen Institute and she resides in San Francisco with her husband Fabian and daughter Meursault.
By 2018, the McBride Sisters had grown their brand to the point where they needed a dedicated winemaker based on the Central Coast and met Amy Butler through a trusted advisor and fellow Central Coast viticulturist. After starting her career in Napa, Amy had racked up a 16-year history of contract and consulting winemaking in and around Paso Robles and was instantly a perfect match for the McBride Sisters’ philosophy and company culture. Amy's UC Davis enology degree, her broad experience building and growing boutique wine brands, and her "liquid resumé" made her a strong candidate for the job. After two and a half years as a consultant, the Sisters finally convinced Amy to join the company full-time. While spearheading the winemaking efforts of a growth leader in all wine categories, Amy brings her small-production focus on quality and authenticity to all the wines in the McBride Sisters Wine Company portfolio.

EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE
The McBride Sisters story is one like no other. One could say that their path to sisterhood and ultimately changing the face of the wine industry was destiny at work. Sisters Robin McBride and Andréa McBride John were raised across the globe from one another in two of the world's most iconic wine growing, agriculture and farming regions — Monterey, California and Aotearoa New Zealand. Each thought they were only children until fate united them in 1999 and their discovery of one another, along with a shared love affair with wine, food and culture, sparked a creative and entrepreneurial force.
For me, the Holidays are about sharing the table and the kitchen. I spend all year looking at cookbooks and planning the feast. We [me and my family] enjoy our traditional favorites of course, with seasonal flavors like pumpkin, sage, and cranberry, but we can't help changing up the recipes from year to year. The versatility of our McBride Sisters Collection Red Blend finds a home with all of these dishes, fruity enough to pair with roast turkey or pork, and bright enough to emphasize the richness of buttery potatoes and herby stuffing. In my family, we've learned that what's in the glass during the preparation of the food is almost as important as what's in the glass on the table! The festive mood in the bustling kitchen lends itself to a glass (or two) of the McBride Sisters Collection Sparkling Brut Rosé, our nod to the sunny southern hemisphere as we welcome California's cozy winter.
