Our Team

Amy Atwood

Amy Atwood has been working with wine since 1996 when she was running beverage programs in Australia. After many years spent working for other wholesalers and importers, she founded Amy Atwood Selections in 2009. Her focus is primarily on small production and natural wines. Amy lives in Los Angeles with her dog, Rocket.

Courtney Walsh

Courtney is a 10+ year veteran of the food and wine industry. An LA native, she got her start with natural wine at Downtown Los Angeles' natural wine shop and bar, Buzz Wine Beer Shop, and has since worked as wine director at Alimento, Cosa Buona, and Miro restaurants. Most recently, she has been working at LA's first natural wine shop, DomaineLA. 

Jamil Williams

With two decades of experience in the wine industry, Jamil honed his expertise through managing multiple wine shops and bars across Maine and San Francisco for five years. He then embraced Los Angeles' culinary and vinicultural revival by relocating there. His notable contributions include a three-year tenure as the inaugural wine buyer for Buzz Wine Beer Shop in downtown L.A., followed by six years of managing and curating selections for Silverlake Wine.

Elizabeth Baumann

Originally from Chicago, Elizabeth moved to San Diego in 2016 looking for a change of pace and warmer weather. Before joining the Atwood team she spent 3+ years working for a local San Diego hard kombucha company, Boochcraft where she learned the ins and outs of administrative work in the alcohol world. When she's not working or drinking natural wine, she is probably playing with her terrier mutt from Tijuana, Jellyfish.

LaShea Delaney

LaShea is a Los Angeles native who began her restaurant career in New York City over a decade ago. Collaborating with talented wine directors in NYC and Los Angeles, she absorbed their knowledge and passion for wine, ultimately earning a WSET 2 certification. In addition to her work in the restaurant and wine industry, LaShea also contributes articles to wine and culture publications.

Lindsey Marshall

Lindsey is a native of San Diego and an alumnus of UCSD where she studied Neurobiology and Cognitive Neuroscience. Her love for wine blossomed during her time at Jeune et Jolie where she eventually studied to join their team of Sommeliers. She consulted on a few beverage programs around town before landing in the world of wine sales. When she's not bopping around town pouring wine for AAS, she can be found painting at home with her dogs at her feet or working at Little Victory Wine Market in Encinitas.

Meredith Baird Figone

Meredith Baird Figone spent over a decade in the wellness industry as a founder, author, and brand builder. Wine has long been a throughline in her work, life and studies. Today she’s most interested in the simple pleasures of thoughtful farming, honest wine, and the people who bring them to the table. WSET Level 3 certified, she recently joined Amy Atwood Wines as a Northern California sales rep. After 15 years in LA, she just moved to Napa with her family and is enjoying taking it all in!
