I told you I’m constantly happening upon one fantastic thing or another every day of my life. Why didn’t I become a luxury blogger a decade ago?!
OK, folks. Forget about drinking mass-produced wines that taste like vinegar.
Say sayonara to sipping Cab and Shiraz that Stephen, Maria, Seth, Maurice, Emily and everybody else is drinking.
Doesn’t your palate deserve more specialized, unique wines that are geared specifically toward pleasing your own individual pucker?
Introducing Montesquieu, your attentive personal wine broker!
In their own words…
For over 400 years, Montesquieu has celebrated small production, boutique wines and family vineyards. We pride ourselves in discovering hidden gems - vineyard properties steeped in tradition and from which the wine is a reflection of the terroir and local culture. We promise you won’t find the same names and vintages here that you find everywhere else.
There are hundreds of family owned vineyards all over the world that have been passed down from generation to generation. Typically, their wines never make it to the United States.
Often, these wineries only produce a limited amount of wine, less than 500 cases. In fact, sometimes we come across an absolutely amazing wine with a run of just 40 to 50 cases. While major U.S. importers may overlook them, these small quantity runs are what we seek out and choose to represent. If you’re among the fortunate few lucky enough to acquire these wines, we promise that you’ll experience a true work of art!
I love Montesquieu’s food pairings page, which features some amazing recipes that go well with their boutique wines.
Our Wines
Every time you open a bottle of handcrafted wine, you’re also unleashing the passion and love of an artist, the winemaker.
Since our primary focus is to specialize in wines that reflect the terroir and vision of the winemaker, Montesquieu does not represent wines that are mass-produced. Every wine we carry is typically produced in less than 1000 cases, and often less than 500 cases.
On occasion, we release special selections of under 100 cases.
Of course, not all wines are created equal, small production does not always result in a wine that is delicious and pleasing to the palate. That is where our team of wine buyers comes in. Our buyers not only seek small producers, they also are highly selective about which wines we will ultimately decide to carry. So rest assured that every bottle will be of the highest quality.
* Boutique wines - 1,000 or less cases produced.
* Exclusive wines – You can serve wine that no one else does – Our wines are not mass-distributed and are difficult to locate in shops.
* Personalized service - Be the first to find out about new releases, new vintages and happenings in the world of wine.
* Savings – We import, source and distribute our wines ourselves – you only pay for fine wine.
* Selection – Our tasting team will sometimes sample 100 wines to find one that we would like to share with you. You can be confident that our wines are the highest quality.
About Your Wine Broker
Your personal wine sommelier. Your wine guru. Your vintage valet. Whatever you call your Montesquieu wine broker, you’ll come to appreciate their love of wine and knowledge.
There are always so many new vintages, new releases and happenings in the wine business, that it’s hard to keep track of everything. But you can count on your wine broker to give you the inside knowledge about all things wine.
Your broker will come to know your favorites, your interests, and even your palate to complete your cellar. And unlike a wine club, you’re free to choose what wines you want, when you want them.
So if you’re a collector, your wine broker can place you on the list of special releases, small lots and auction wines. Or if you simply want to learn more about the world of wine, there’s no better way to start.
I am SO game for this concept. My goblet is ready!
