Stu left his career in Internet advertising in 2000 to begin his journey in the wine business.
After many successful years with both large and small importing companies, Stu started his own importation company with a focus on South America, France and Spain. Along the way Stu developed specialized e-commerce solutions for both foreign and domestic wineries as well as an on-demand inventory model for foreign wineries to break into the US market without going through the traditional three-tier system. Together with his business partner Jason, they both saw an opportunity to use common sense and a streamlined approach to shake up the world of online wine auctions.
Stu has been enjoying and collecting wine for over 30 years.
