CURRENT MISSION

explore the world of wine

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Mike. I import wines from Europe to the USA. I love to become part of the place I visit. I don't want to stay at typical tourist hotels or eat at typical tourist restaurants. If I am in Italy at a restaurant that is filled with all local people and I am the only American, that's perfect for me. Different cultures and peoples have a lot to offer. There is more than one way to live well in this world.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is filled with interesting people and places. Let's discover it together.
