Anna is the Founder and CEO of Aroma Wine Co. Her passion for wine and a love for all its nuances were born out of her early restaurant experiences. She has work at restaurants in Paris (her original hometown), Miami, and New York City. She got her start as a server, made her way up to manager, and ultimately graduated to wine buyer.
It was her initial exposure to the French hospitality industry (Hotel Lutetia in Paris, France) that opened-up opportunities and a world Anna didn’t even know existed. A newly found passion for the hotel and restaurant business brought her to the United States in 1998.
Following her restaurant tenure, Anna worked as a tasting coordinator and editorial assistant at Wine & Spirits Magazine, as a Marketing and Events Director at Petrossian Paris and as a Public Relations Executive representing French wine brands for Terlato Wines, a major U.S. importer.
Anna is a French-Croatian living in Jersey City, New Jersey. Born into a Croatian family and raised in Paris, France, you could say fashion, food, and wine were instilled in her at an early age. Spending her summer vacations in Croatia, Anna enjoyed everything that such a beautiful Mediterranean country had to offer, including working in her family’s vineyards. Wine is certainly in her DNA!
Today, Anna is tapping into her 20-plus years of experience and knowledge of the hospitality and wine industries to guide wineries through the intricacies of the U.S. trade, media and consumer markets.
Aroma Wine Co reflects Anna’s passion for the wine industry, but more importantly, it reflects her love for meeting the talented people behind the scenes and sharing their stories with the world.
Anna holds a BA in Modern Literature from University Paris VIII and the W.S.E.T. (Wine & Spirits Education Trust) Advanced Certification Level 3 & 4.
When Anna is not learning about wine or sharing her passion with others, she enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter. She is also into health and fitness and is an avid spin-cycler.

Jersey City, NJ (U.S.A.) – July 1, 2020: It is official! ‘National Croatian Wine Day’ is now a registered wine holiday in the U.S. Each year, on June 25, we will celebrate Croatia by sipping unique wines from this distinctive country.
National Croatian Wine Day celebrates Croatia’s Independence Day on June 25, the day where the Croatian Parliament declared its independence from the Republic of Yugoslavia in 1991. National Croatian Wine Day highlights Croatia’s unique wine history dating back to 2,500 years. Croatia has over 1200 islands and a crystal-clear sea. Croatia is also home to an estimated 120 indigenous grape varietals and four key wine regions: Croatian Uplands, Dalmatia, Istria and Kvarner, and Slavonia and Croatian Danube; 16 sub-regions and 66 appellations, producing wines exhibiting an array of styles from unique terroirs, all of which are worthy of our attention.
