Who knew the wine business could be so much fun! I was born and raised in Italy, and eventually studied in France so I grew up drinking pretty good wines, isn't this enough credential? 😉
Jokes aside, I owe most of my winemaking knowledge from my talented wife Jordan and I keep learning from my clients because when I am presented a challenge I strive to find a solution and in the process I gain experience.
I have been 20 years in the Wine Industry and worked on all aspects of it.
I started this company in 2010 when I moved my family to the Central Coast. I am proud of the brands I represent from Italy and France because they make great products from the two countries I grew up in.
Come visit us in Paso to check what's new in the showroom, drink an espresso and play a round of ping pong!
Salute!

I’ve been in the wine industry for 20+ years. I first started as a Harvest Temp worker, I instantly grew a passion for Winemaking. I eventually worked my way up to becoming a Cellar Master.
Through the years, I have learned many styles of wine making from different winemakers.
Born and raised on the Central Coast with the beautiful vineyard views and ocean breeze. I have love for my family , work and sports.. When I'm not working.. I am coaching youth and/or high school sports such as football, basketball, softball and baseball. If it's coaching, working or parenting, I do it with passion and I take pride in all I do.
