As I approach year 17 in the wine business I’m still trying to reinvent myself & come up with a simple on point description as to what I do in the wine industry (my Mother wants to know). Well, here it goes… We’re brokers, merchants, negociants, promoters & pioneers to small farm artesian winemakers in Napa Valley, Sonoma, & the Northwest Oregon/Washington winegrowing regions. In what order would depend on the day.  

Who are our customers? We provide a seamless service from producer to customer. We sell directly to our private referral based client list “Madison Group”, and to restaurants, café bistros, specialty markets, and wine shops.

Who are our producers? This list constantly evolves. Every tin shed we spot on a wine country back road could be the home of the next “best wine you never heard of…yet.” We’re not wine critics but rather promoters, so 95% of everything we taste won’t make our list only the “must have” wines are delivered via email to your inbox. Our freelance style lends us the ability to keep the hunt going on & on while reporting back to “the group” our latest finds. We don’t sit on warehouses of inventory we “need” to sell to survive, but rather tell the story of the latest finds, offer the group pre-negotiated off market case prices, and take delivery of exactly what our group orders & forward each client their requested order.

Cheers, Mark, Susie and Madison
