We hope you have a chance to explore our site and have designed this with two purposes in mind.

First, we wanted to provide as much access to information from our producers and links to technical information about the wines we represent. Given the wide array of regions we represent, Oregon, California, and now Washington wines in the US; and most French and Portuguese wine regions along with some selected Spanish producers.

Second, we wanted to provide a means to electronically access our catalog and company information and contacts, as well as providing a feedback mechanism via our new BLOG. We welcome comments on wine, the wine trade and certainly how we can continue to improve it to serve you better.
