Based in Alexandria, Virginia, it positions itself as a source for distinctive products from Italy, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, and the United States, emphasizing quality, diversity, and excellence. The business serves as a conduit between producers and the US market, aligning a curated selection with partners and customers. It targets professional buyers in the US who seek carefully selected top-tier producers and access to wines and spirits that express their terroirs.
