Meet the Scouts
Customized. Curated. Collaborative. Your own personal guides to the best in wine and spirits.
We have assembled an expert team of seasoned wine and spirits sommeliers who will get to know you and your exclusive tastes as well as they know their own. Our Scouts come from various wine and spirit backgrounds, with years of experience in regions throughout the world. We taste four to five thousand wines a year to select the ten percent you will love.
Each of our Scouts contributes greatly to our success, as they consult with one another to provide consistent standards, and relentlessly pursue only those wines and spirits that each scout would stand behind. "If it's not great, we don't sell it." Our motto since 1994, and we mean it.
