Amy Corron Power

Amy is an attorney by day, wine lover by night and self-proclaimed political junkie 24/7. Lucky for her she is married to an awesome cook, who knows how to fix fabulous meals to complement just about any wine. She and Joe currently live on the Texas Gulf Coast, just south of Houston, but both dream of the day they can move to another Bay Area, to be closer to all those fabulous vineyards and wineries.

Raised in a home of tee-totaling educators in West Virginia, Amy’s knowledge of wine was limited until law school. After a career in marketing and public relations, with a little systems consulting in between, she left the warm weather of Houston, Texas, and headed north to Ohio. Making sure she had her priorities straight, Amy chose a law school with an awesome football program, led by a fine coach who promptly left for a bigger school in December of her first year.

Amy and Joe currently live on the Texas Gulf Coast but dream of the day they can move to another Bay Area -- closer to all those fabulous vineyards and wineries.

Either for brownie points or extra-credit, she attended her first serious wine tasting in between the hell that is One L and the hell that is studying for the Bar. Law later continued to provide great wine perks, including a side trip to Wine Country each time the American Bar Association chooses San Francisco for its annual meeting. An avid photographer, Amy sometimes spends more time taking pictures of the vineyards and wineries, than sampling their bounty.

Other fun facts about Amy:
