Bottlerocket Wine and Spirit

"Who knows Italian Wine? With more than 2,000 grape varietals and 27,000 producers, the Italian wine world confounds wine professionals and enthusiasts alike. Since 1999, Italian Wine Merchants (IWM) has worked diligently to demystify Italian wine through its detailed website and weekly E-letter, Wine Clubs, educational tasting events and a carefully selected portfolio of current and vintage Italian bottlings. Under the direction of owner Sergio Esposito, IWM is widely considered the leading authority on Italian wine today. <br> Sergio represents an invaluable resource to collectors, enthusiasts, and wine writers. He travels to Italy up to ten times per year and personally sources 100% of IWM’s selection. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, comprising roles of sommelier, vintage broker, and his present position as head of his brainchild, Italian Wine Merchants, Sergio has established a network of Italian connoisseurs in every region who aid him as he unravels many of the complex issues regarding Italian wine. <br> In addition to IWM’s portfolio of current releases, Sergio has amassed one of the greatest collections of vintage Italian wine in the world. These gems can be obtained through direct consultation with an IWM Portfolio Manager, by joining “Sergio’s Cellar” Wine Club, or by scheduling a private tasting in IWM’s Vintage Tasting Room or Studio del Gusto. Each lot has been pretasted by Sergio himself and all of the wines are stored on-site in IWM’s temperature-controlled cellar, ensuring the quality and integrity of every bottle."

Specializing in small-production, earth-friendly wines from around the world. September Wine & Spirits supports smaller, family-run vineyards where tremendous care, attention, and generations of pride go into the winemaking. But small-production does not automatically mean better wine.

Some of them will age gracefully in your cellar for decades to come and some are meant to be enjoyed in the freshness of their youth. Some are full bodied, sun kissed and weighty, others light, fruity and thirst quenching. Some wear their austerity and mineral flavors on their sleeve but then others, if you were to close your eyes, will transport you to a fruit orchard.
