With a mission to inspire a great wine culture by connecting wine lovers with real people who make great wine, Tina has directed the company’s growth into the largest private wine store and destination wine school in Manitoba.

Tina’s life and work have centred in Manitoba, where her community service, innovation and accomplishments have been recognized with the Order of Manitoba, Manitoba’s highest honour (2020). The designation recognizes individuals who have demonstrated excellence and achievement, benefiting in an outstanding manner the social, cultural or economic well-being of Manitoba and its residents. She has also been named by the Women’s Executive Network with a Top 100 Award as one of Canada’s Most Powerful Women (2018); the Volunteer Fundraiser of the Year (2017) from the Association of Fundraising Professionals Manitoba; and the Distinguished Alumni Award (2018) from the University of Manitoba.
