How it ALL STARTED

Three partners melded minds early 2013 with a vision to change the sampling industry. Amber Rynbrandt and Erica Diamond were not new to working hand-in-hand or to the sampling industry. Amber and Erica met in 2007 at an advertising agency in Dallas. In 2009, the two formed a digital media agency focusing on social media and search engine optimization. While getting the business off the ground, the pair tried their hands in the brand ambassador world. It was fun, easy money and flexible. But there were critical gaps that needed to be solved. Their time as BAs planted a seed that would later form into Pourtastic Tastings. The two split ways when Rynbrandt pursued an opportunity in Austin, Texas but remained close friends.

An entrepreneur at heart, Amber approached Erica with the idea of what would be named Pourtastic Tastings. Recently married to a tech guru with 20+ years of business experience under his belt, Erica included Keith Diamond to complete the team of three with unique viewpoints and skill sets.

And change the industry Pourtastic has done. Pourtastic has grown exponentially each year since inception and expanded from the state of Texas to seven other states, with plans to grow nationally. Through the growth, Pourtastic has remained true to our promise to be the best and only continue to get stronger.

While the three partners worked tirelessly to build Pourtastic into the brand it is today, it’s only through our talented internal team that we can tout success.
