We know the right people in the wine industry. Vintners at unmapped wineries in unexpected regions, who bottle the best wines in the world. Industry insiders know them and so do Michelin-star restaurants. And now, so do you.
Our wine team consists of some of America’s top wine professionals who have decades of experience judging international wine competitions. Each member of our team personally visits with producers to learn more about the wines, wineries, and winemakers.
Matt is one of only 45 Masters of Wine in the U.S. He judges international wine competitions, is an instructor at the Napa Valley Wine Academy, an expert panelist at international wine events, and writes for various wine publications.
Sur is the 14th Krug Cup recipient, passing all three sections of the Master Sommelier exam on his first attempt. He has been wine director at many Michelin-star restaurants and was named a Top New Sommelier by Wine & Spirits Magazine.
Vanessa was head of sales and marketing for several of Napa’s most prestigious estates, holds the WSET Diploma, and is currently a Master of Wine candidate, having already passed the Theory portion of the MW exams.
Our Master Wine Team tastes thousands of the world’s best bottles every year, blind to cost, to create a catalog of wines that all exceed the expectations defined by their price.
Our weather controlled shipping system uses detailed weather data on a zip by zip basis to ensure the wine you order is shipped at the perfect temperature and you can be there when it arrives to pick it up.
Discovering an extraordinary wine means investing yourself in its past, its present and its future. Knowing the grapes, the land, the vintner. Knowing its age, its body, its complements. Knowing how all that changes over the years. We’re committed to giving you access to a bottle’s full story — tasting notes, suggested pairings, flavor profiles and more — so you can explore as deeply as you wish.
A wine's story isn't complete until the bottle is empty. Meaning everything we do is all-for-nothing if you don’t love how your wine tastes — if the experience of drinking it isn’t extraordinary. Our Napa based client services team is here to guarantee an extraordinary experience for you. And any bottle you don't love is on the house!
