Founded by Mannie Berk in 1989, and run by Blake Murdock, The Rare Wine Co.’s passionate advocacy for neglected regions have help restore prestige to Madeira, traditionally made Barolo and Rioja, Cote-Rotie and more. Today, The Rare Wine Co. is recognized as one of America’s premier wine merchants.
The Rare Wine Co. represents nearly three dozen of the most revered producers including iconic names as Alvaro Palacios, Bartolo Mascarello, Pingus, Fichet, Rostaing, Bussola, Jacques Selosse, Domaine Huet, etc...they represent a concentrated collection of European wine superstars. Their goal is not to concentrate on a single country or region but to have a portfolio that represents “the best of the best”, with a strong emphasis on classic winemaking.
