August 1, 2023 – Skurnik Wines & Spirits, a leading importer and distributor of fine wines and spirits, has announced new representation of acclaimed California winery Martha Stoumen Wines. Effective August 1st, Skurnik will exclusively represent Martha Stoumen Wines in the states of New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania.
Martha Stoumen, a passionate winemaker celebrated for her innovative approach to crafting natural wines, shares Skurnik’s dedication to representing wines of exceptional quality and character.
“At Skurnik Wines & Spirits, our mission is to share wines of the highest quality from excellent producers,” said David Skurnik, Executive Vice President of Skurnik Wines & Spirits. “Martha Stoumen exemplifies the type of winemaker we love to champion. Martha makes wines that are true to their origins, sustainable from vineyard to bottle, and delicious in the glass. Partnering with Martha Stoumen is an exciting opportunity to represent a small, family-owned winery that is continuing to push the envelope to make delicious wines with a focus on clean farming.”
“We are but one voice in a chorus of agricultural producers who are changing the tune of the wine industry, but none of us are able to do this without the collaboration of buyers, sommeliers, educators, and customers that share the same values and excitement we do. New York was one of the first markets to sell Martha Stoumen Wines, and I feel deep gratitude for the immense support shown towards us in New York thus far,” said Martha Stoumen, Founder and Winemaker of Martha Stoumen Wines. “Shifting tides take many hands, and partnering with Skurnik Wines as our distributor in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania is an exciting opportunity to broaden our reach and collectively inspire more people to support natural farming and winemaking.”
The official partnership will launch on August 1st, 2023.

About Martha Stoumen Wines
Martha Stoumen Wines was founded upon the desire to recapture a farming and winemaking culture that has all but faded away: a winemaking culture of patience.
After 8 years apprenticing around the world, Martha set out as a self-funded, first-generation winemaker to answer the question, “What does California taste like?” In this little corner of Northern California, Mediterranean grapes thrive and healthy vineyards allow for the creation of joyful balanced wines. The wines are made from unexpected varietals and offer new takes on California classics. They do things the right way even if it’s not the easy way. Of the nearly two dozen wines we make every year, blends and flavours change but the desire to share the simple pleasures of natural wine remains the same.
