A Well-Crafted Work
“Del most flor, amb la dedicació i el rigor de l’obra artesanal ben feta.”
This Catalan saying graces the label of the first wine we imported, Avinyó Cava, and translates as “starting with the best part of the harvest, and exerting the dedication and rigor of a well-crafted work.” It is an idea which has guided our company philosophy since 1996. This concept of respecting the integrity of the source material with dedicated care drives us in our quest to work thoughtfully, share authentic culinary and cultural experiences, and leave things better than we found them.
In our quest to live a life of “well-crafted work,” we offer the core pillars of who we are, what we believe, and what we do. It is with gratitude that our customers continually choose our products, and we endeavor to honor that trust through our commitment to our values.

The Future of French Artisan Spirits
There is a shared sense amongst our new French distilleries regarding their individual traditions and histories – they’re more complicated and regionally-specific than might be expected. Whether it’s the cold-climate, barley-producing heritage of the Hauts-de-France near Belgium and the English Channel, or the slow, methodical, generational progress of a family invested in making honest, natural, estate Cognac; these spirits have depth and character that invite consideration and study, revealing more and more with each sip. Dive deeper in the offer below.

The Cognac Revolution is Here
Fourth-generation Cognac grower and distiller Frédéric Bourgoin reminds us that “revolution” doesn’t mean the appearance of something new, but rather, a return to that which is pure and fundamental, a restoration of what once was. Through Bourgoin, we have at last come back around to brandy distilled from estate-farmed, organic grapes, without blending, color correction, or filtration. Join us in rediscovering what we’ve all been missing.
A Fresh, Biodynamic Perspective on the Southern Rhône
Sébastien Clément is the proud inheritor of his family’s naturally-farmed vineyards in Châteauneuf de Gadagne, as well as that of the Provençal Occitan culture of his ancestors. He and his delicious single-varietal Rhône wines from Domaine des Garriguettes are carrying on both traditions with boundless enthusiasm.
Bordeaux Pirates Set Sail
A legendary region in the midst of sweeping change, Bordeaux has, in recent years, attracted a wave of innovators from within and outside its borders. Our new Bordeaux wineries share an admiration for this venerable terroir, but divert from the conventional viticultural approach, pursuing a decisively natural course in both the vineyard and the cellar. Their sense of urgency in rescuing Bordeaux from its old ways has brought us enthusiastically aboard this journey.
A Talented Team and Exceptional Loire Terroir in Perfect Harmony
Thanks to the visionary guidance and humility of Michel Petitbois (since 2006, the owner of the historic Châteaux du Breuil et de la Roche), a team centered around sommelier and winemaker David Vigan has coalesced, each individual contributing their diverse skills to the overall mission of this stunning estate. Featuring an uncompromising commitment to regenerative agriculture, the thriving, living soils of Breuil produce some of the most exciting organic wines we’ve yet come across in the Middle Loire.
Cans
The same spirit that drove us to be the first US importer to offer high-quality products in the keg format similarly inspired us to bring txakoli, sidra naturala, vino rosado, and pétillant from Spain in cans, thus expanding the opportunities for enjoyment of these authentic, light-hearted, thirst-quenching expressions.
