Pure Vine Wines is comprised of Joe Padulo, Tom Harvey and Andria Shirk, three wine loving individuals whom reside in Portland, Oregon. Each has their own unique, wine related history.
Andria Shirk
As a former performer in the arts, Andria traveled the world in her career and along the way discovered the wines of South Africa, Australia, and Europe. On her time off, she planted a small vineyard in Oregon and began to learn every aspect of the winemaking process from vineyard management to wine making. She and husband Tom currently make their own Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvingnon. After retiring from show business, she began to freelance in the wine industry, working for the Dallas Morning News Wine Competition, the Portland Indie Wine Festival, The Oregon Seafood and Wine Festival, Penner-Ash Cellars, and most recently as a harvest intern at Shea Wine Cellars.
Tom Harvey is married to Andria and is her wine-making partner. Tom has been an avid student in the classroom and has taken extensive coursework in wine-making here in Oregon. Together with Andria, they spend a couple of months every year traveling
Joe Padulo is Tom's business partner at Portland Wine Storage. The two crossed paths with each other in San Francisco during their culinary training at the California Culinary Academy. Joe has spent several years as a cook and has served in many restaurants in several cities. He now caters with Tom to their wine storage clients and also cooks privately. Like Tom and Andria, he has always been fascinated with wine and began collecting it from an early age.
