Why the Fox?
On our honeymoon, which doubled as our first business trip to Italy, we drove all over the country. We rented a car in Rome, drove east to Abruzzo, South to Puglia, West to Sicily, and back to the mainland meeting with producers and touring vineyards all along the way. One evening in Sicily, as we trekked toward the top of Mount Etna, a fox emerged out of nowhere. The fox casually sat down in front of us on a black volcanic rock.
It was a unique and memorable moment for us. That little Sicilian fox symbolizes our choice to work with regions and varietals that are found off of the beaten path. We prefer the road less traveled and the little surprises that greet us along the way.
The Team
Nicole’s family emigrated from Sicily to Brooklyn, New York in the 1970’s. Kevin is a 6th Generation American with his ancestors settling in Washington, DC and San Francisco in the 1850’s.
Today, they work together to supply authentic wines of superior quality and value to Washington DC and beyond.
Producers
Our business is all about relationships. We have met our partners through travel, social media, trade shows and referrals. These partners become an extension of our family. We are proud to join them on the forefront of delivering artisanal wines for all to enjoy.
