Andrea Robinson joins COPIA staff

andrea robinson

The fabulous Andrea Robinson (formerly Immer Robinson) has joined the staff of COPIA, adding to its already stellar reputation for consumer wine education. Never take it for granted — the fact that we have access to the industry’s top talent.In her role as Dean of Wine Studies, Robinson, one of 15 female Master Sommeliers in the world, will develop new consumer wine education programs, attract wine faculty, and, of course, teach.

I met Robinson at COPIA in 2006 at the re-enactment of the Judgment of Paris. She was warm and approachable. And, as a judge of the older vintages, she even sneaked a few sips of those legendary wines to her hubby-cameraman John Robinson. It was really sweet.

Check out the list of courses she’ll be teaching here, or visit her web site for more details about her credentials and background.
