Each year, Wine & Spirits Magazine honors the importers with the highest number of Top 100 Wineries, Wineries to Watch, Top 100 Wines and Top 100 Best Buys over the past year. Winesellers, Ltd. had an outstanding performance in these categories in 2019 and will be named a Top Importer of the Year, as featured in the 33rd Annual Buying Guide.
Adam Sager, Co-President and son of founder Yale Sager adds, “It’s a true honor to us and well-deserved recognition for our talented supplier partners. We thank Wine & Spirits Magazine for naming us a 2019 Top Importer of the Year.”
Winesellers has seen a tremendous increase in demand for quality, organic wines as well as estate-grown wines that are attainable for the everyday drinker. “We’ve been able to grow immensely in recent years while staying true to the values upon which our father began, working with family-owned-and operated-wineries to develop a dynamic and ever-growing portfolio.”
Winesellers, Ltd. imports renowned producers such as Besserat de Bellefon Champagne, Portugal’s Quinta de la Rosa and Argentina’s Familia Zuccardi (also awarded Top 100 Wineries by Wine & Spirits). In addition, Winesellers has developed its domestic portfolio with Santa Barbara Winery, Lafond Winery and Vineyards and Napa-based Vinum Cellars.
The importer is also reputed for creating, sourcing and developing its own highly regarded brands such as Tortoise Creek from California’s Lodi and Central Coast regions; Sea Pearl from Marlborough, New Zealand; Mont Gravet from Pays d’Oc, France and Tiamo, organic wines crafted from a collection of small organic certified growers throughout Italy. “I am proud to continue building Winesellers with my brother and father,” says Co-President Jordan Sager. “We cherish our longstanding partnerships with incredible winemakers from all over the globe, and firmly believe it’s the basis for developing sustained growth and success.”
