Vineyard Brands Import Tasting, Phoenix—6:30 to 7:30 PM

About Vineyard Brands

Vineyard Brands was founded in 1971 by Robert Haas. Bob began his career in 1950 working as the import buyer for M. Lehmann, his family’s wine shop in New York City which would later become Sherry Lehmann. As Bob became more interested in the import wine business and less interested in the retail business, he began importing and selling wine in markets other than New York through Leeds Imports Corporation, a wine import company started by Bob and his father. In 1967, Bob’s father retired from the wine business and Leeds Imports Corporation was sold.

Today, Vineyard Brands has over 65 employees located throughout the United States and 2 offices, one in Birmingham, Alabama, and the other in the heart of New York City. The headquarters remain in Birmingham, Alabama, where they have approximately 25 employees who handle all shipping, accounting, and compliance activities and the production of all promotional materials and advertising for Vineyard Brands.

Their Portfolio

As they are a “family” owned enterprise by virtue of an ESOP, Vineyard Brands has chosen to represent family-owned wineries. They have a wealth of experience representing both small producers and large-volume brands, representing over 60 wineries from the major wine-growing regions throughout the world. Their portfolio includes some of the best wines available from Argentina, Chile, Spain, Portugal, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, and France, including over 25 growers of estate-bottled wines in Bordeaux, Burgundy, Chablis, the Rhône, the Loire Valley, Alsace, and Southern France.

The Fine Print:

– We will continue limiting the number of members at each event and offering multiple time slots, in order to continue delivering the best experience possible. With smaller & more focused groups, our clients are able to gain a deeper understanding of the wines and featured wineries.

– IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND, please call or email us ASAP so that we may offer your space to those awaiting a reservation. Due to an increase in no-shows and last-minute cancellations, we will be implementing a $25/person fee for cancellations under 24 hours. We understand that things come up, we just want to have the opportunity and time to offer the spot to someone else!
