A Pursuit of Passion

MICHAEL VACCARO

Founder & CEO

My background is in the tax industry and while it has allowed me to maintain a comfortable life for my family, it has never sparked a drive in me in such a way that wine seems to instill. I have an absolute love for the wine industry which began 15 years ago and has developed over time into a thirst for anything wine. I can’t read enough publications, stop talking about wine with anybody who will listen to me and my vacations are based on where I can try a varietal that I have never heard of or tasted before. A couple of years ago, I made the move to pursue my passion and have never looked back.

This company was founded on some very fundamental ideas and concepts, first and foremost, integrity!  We try to surround ourselves with people who share our values and moral compass.  Life is too short to work with people you don’t respect or simply with whom you do not want to spend time. Whether it pertains to the producers of wine and spirits, the instructors that teach our classes, or the craftsmen who design our products, we choose wisely.  The products we choose to represent are of the highest quality.  They are premium products using the freshest ingredients and utilizing the best business practices. 

We believe the wine experience should be fun and engaging. We visit countries all over the world, trying new products, meeting new people, and enjoying the beautiful landscape.  Wine only grows in beautiful places. Find a vineyard and you are guaranteed a spectacular view.

We hope you enjoy our products and services.
