- About my company:
- I am an independant wine agent that aims to introduce you to small production, hand-crafted wines from France. Wines that are made by local farmers who are passionate about their land and that prize local character over mass appeal. The farmers will use sustainable farming practices, some will be organically certified while others will also use "biodynamic" practices.

- About Me:
- 39 year old biochemist currently living in Belgium. A Francophile and wine lover for the last 20 years, I added an MBA in 2007 from the Vlerick School of Management, (Belgium). I am a huge promoter of small independent winemakers who tend their land responsibly and make their wines as naturally as possible so to let the true terroir shine through. I have an Advanced Certificate in Wine and Spirits from the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) in the UK, have been tasting wines for over 20 years and founded, joined, and tagged along with many tasting groups. I love French cuisine and European comfort food in general. I’m a fan of SlowFood movement and support local and organic producers whenever possible.

Our company is opening channels into China for exporting wine. We are able to tap an unique market for distribution but also delving into the regular market. High volume is mandatory, but we have an order for a smaller exploratory shipment. If you have a slate of bottles that you think would work well, please contact me if your wineries want to take part. Looking for low end and high end bottles. State-side or abroad. I would be happy to answer any questions via…
Looking to buy cheap wine for China

Let us know what you think!
I saw that you are from Boston. I currently live in Boston and work for a small distributor called Baystate Wine Co. We do some of our own importing as well. Your company looks really interesting and it seems that you have found a unique niche in the wine industry. Am I correct in thinking that you work for the producers...rather than consumers, etc?
I also noticed that you went to Colby College, I went to Colgate University and have a lot of friends that went to Colby...small world.
