TEAM
Meet the people who dream, envision, collaborate, and commit to making Italy's top-scoring, family-owned, and estate-driven wines accessible to the US, so we can all live deliciously!
Michael Heintz
President/CEO/Managing Partner
Michael grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area during the gourmet food and wine revolution, so it should probably come as no surprise that he ended up in the world of Food & Wine. Working in restaurants during college in L.A. introduced him to the world of professional Chefs and Sommeliers. After opening several restaurants across the west, Michael began working with the E&J Gallo Winery, eventually rising to become an executive at their global headquarters. His initial wine studies were focused on Italian wines, so it is no coincidence that he now owns Enotec with his wife Lynette and a cherished group of partners. When not cooking(or eating), you can find Michael playing with his kids, the family’s 2 charcoal Labradors Tank and Timber, or maybe even Flyfishing somewhere fun.
Lynette Heintz
Partner
Lynette spent over 29 years in Technology and Management Consulting, defining and implementing process and technical improvements for her clients and now brings her experiences to Enotec, where she is bringing automation and efficiency to our processes. When she's not working, you can find her around a big dinner table with her extended Italian family, enjoying entertaining conversation with a great glass of wine.
Jessica Wilde
Controller
Jessica is a transplant Coloradoan who studied Accounting at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. Prior to joining the wine world, she worked as an auditor for a Phoenix-based public accounting firm. When she’s not getting excited about working on spreadsheets, you can find her hiking or biking the outdoors with her husband and animals, trying a new recipe in the kitchen, or reading a good book.
Amanda Reed
Logistics and Finance Specialist
Amanda graduated from Northeastern State University in 2012, receiving her bachelor's in accounting. For the last nine years, she has been in the accounting and purchasing department within a tactical and military company and is now ready to jump into the wine industry. When not working, you can find Amanda with her husband, their two children, and their dog, Oakley.
