Most kids dream of being a doctor, a firefighter, or a teacher. Today’s Across the Table guest actually thought she would be a mortician.

Yet, after a harp scholarship brought her to Augustana, that dream got buried and she found herself in banking instead. And while her career path has had a detour or two, the one constant has been her love of the Sioux Falls community and the people who live here. But that’s only the beginning of Andrea Carstensen’s story, which Ashley Thompson found out recently when they sat down together at JJ’s Wine, Spirits & Cigars.

At JJ’s they like to say they provide “an enhanced adult beverage experience” and we think that’s just perfect to sum up the great food and drink and the great people you’ll run into at JJ’s Wine, Spirits and Cigars.

They’re located at 3000 west 57th Street in Sioux Falls. You can find out more about their specials and events, by checking out their website at JJsWine.com.
