Robin and Andréa McBride
Robin and Andrea McBride are African American winemakers and owners of McBride Sisters Wine Company, the largest Black-owned female-led wine company in the United States.[1][2][3] Brought together after years of separation, the sisters bonded over a shared passion for winemaking.[4] The sisters established their wine company in 2005. In 2019, the McBride sisters launched an eco-friendly line of canned wine, SHE CAN. The McBride company's mission is "to transform the industry, lead by example, and cultivate community, one delicious glass of wine at a time."[5]
Early life[edit]
Growing up, the sisters did not know about each other. Andréa was raised in New Zealand with her mother Pauline. Her mother died from breast cancer when she was six years old, and she was placed with a foster family. Robin grew up in Monterey, California by her mother Karen. The women shared a biological father, Kelly McBride, that they had little connect with during their lives. Before Kelly McBride died in 1996, he asked his family to connect his two daughters. In 1999, Robin received a letter from her father's sister. The day after, the sisters met at the LaGuardia Airport in New York.[6][7]
