THE FOUNDERS

Brian Harenza

Brian had his wine epiphany in Italy while studying abroad at university and has led to a life-long obsession.  He and David began importing wines in 2008.  He is an avid collector (and drinker) of fine Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux, and of course, the wine that started it all, “Uncle Luigi’s White.”

David Spielberg

David’s introduction to wine came in the early 1970’s when he moved to California after college.  A long-time Francophile, his interests quickly turned to French wine.  After years of visiting the cellars and talking with winemakers, the passion became a profession, when he and Brian began importing wine from Burgundy in 2008 and a few years later from Champagne.
