Vine Connections

Founded in 1999 by Ed Lehrman and Nick Ramkowsky, Vine Connections pioneered the first nationally imported portfolio of artisan wines from Argentina and soon after introduced the US to a premium selection of Japanese ginjo sake. In 2013, they launched "The New Chile," a diverse, high-quality, appellation-based portfolio of boutique Chilean wine. The company represents the largest portfolio of boutique Argentine and Chilean wineries in the United States with almost 70 wines and 20 brands produced by some of South America's most highly regarded winemakers and viticulturists. Their small domestic portfolio is a collection of some of California's most exciting people-driven wines. Vine Connections also represents 16 of Japan's finest sake breweries that produce some of the world's best artisan chilled sake. Vine Connections is headquartered in Sausalito, California.
