Andre is the man! Can’t get enough of learning from him and hearing his insight.

[@shonastar42]

Congratulations Andre!!!

[@sip.n.savour_]

From Nairobi Kenya and watching this has lit a fire that will never go off.

[@MrTeeBonilla]

Amazing watch…had no idea, just thought he was a sommelier 😮

[@ciresolstice]

Props big homie! Good watch.

[@SoloAdventureDiva]

Love this!!!

[@denomdemon]

Great for Andre to not take the bait and play the victim card. No excuses. Just hard work.

[@shonastar42]

Gather some courage and confront the great replacement theory crowd and the white supremacists about victimhood!!

This guy is NOT a winemaker. You need a masters in chemistry to be an actual winemaker, for starters. This guy is getting a lot of help from someone and is not giving credit where credit is due

[@musicartwine]

that’s a snide comment- he didn’t get a degree in enology- no but he brought work to the wine industry .. his name and company has been successful. He knew that his wine wouldn’t sell - if it wasn’t good - but the wines turned out to be hits. He knew what he was looking for. his entrepreneurship has worked for him.

[@denomdemon]

He can't make pizza! He doesn't look very Italian to me at all!

[@crystaljeffrey8337]

You do not need a master's in chemistry to become a winemaker.

[@Frandaman84]

Having an advanced taster is miles ahead of a lot of new wine makers..

[@jamesm28]

I'm a Winemaker and I don't have a master's in chemistry, in fact I don't even have a college degree, just a passion and the willingness to put in the hard work.

Love this!!
