Vineyard Brands
Vineyard Brands represents over 25 growers of estate-bottled wines in Burgundy, Chablis, the Rhone, Loire Valley, Alsace and Southern France as well as some of the best wines available from Spain, Portugal, Chile, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Germany and Italy. All wines are tasted by the management staff before a decision on representation is made. The result of this stringent selection is best illustrated in the following quote from The Wine Advocate: "In a world increasingly dominated by vast sums of capital and multinational firms, it is difficult for small wine importer to survive unless that company has considerable expertise and an unwavering commitment to quality rather than quantity ... "Imported by Vineyard Brands" is as close to a guarantee of quality as the consumer can expect."
