	Katie Ambrosi - Wine Club Manager Katie has worked in the wine industry since 2005 when she was thrilled to make the transition from 6 years in the advertising agency world spent working on wireless phone and printer ink accounts—in other words, things people need but don’t love, unlike wine. A native of wine country hot spot, Healdsburg, Katie loves that wine makes people happy and can often be seen with a slight purple cast to her teeth. As wine club and marketing manager Katie makes regular use of her time spent looking over the shoulders of agency graphic designers to create a multitude of marketing materials promoting the Vintage Wine Estates wineries…and loving every minute of it.
