Colin Eddy grew up in the heart of Texas, launching a career in hospitality before he even left high school. By the time he'd finished college at The University of Houston, Colin was managing a beverage program for Fleming's Steakhouse and soon after joined Republic National Distributing Company where he quickly climbed the ranks and broadened his wine knowledge and experience in distribution.

After several years in different roles at RNDC, Colin accepted the role of national sales manager with Penner-Ash Wine Cellars and relocated to Portland, Oregon. In 2016, Colin joined NW Wine Co. as national sales manager, overseeing the sales for one of the largest producers in Oregon. He holds the Level 2 Certificate with the Court of Master Sommeliers, WSET Advanced Certficate, and the title of Certified Sake Specialist.

Today, Colin lives in the Portland area with his wife Lisa, son Daniel, and German Shepherd, Cleo.
