Michael Skurnik Wines - Importer and distributor of the finest estate-bottled wines from around the world


May 2013

¡Olé, Olé, Olé!

We are thrilled to announce the addition of the latest member of the Michael Skurnik Wines family: the esteemed Spanish wines of Olé Imports.

"These wines are among my favorites from this motivated company. While none of their wines are household names, readers should seek them out as they represent sensational values from viticultural regions throughout Spain."

– Robert Parker, on Olé Imports

Olé Imports was founded in 1999 by Patrick Mata and Alberto Orte. The portfolio began with only three wines, but has since grown to encompass a comprehensive range of selections from many different regions and at many different price points. We have been searching for quite some time for a portfolio of wines that would complement the selections we currently bring in through Europvin and our direct relationships. Olé Imports is that portfolio.

From the outrageous values like Flaco and Zestos all the way up to the super-limited, super-coveted wines of Raúl Pérez, this is a cutting-edge collection of wines with something to offer for everyone. With the establishment of this new partnership, there is no longer any room for doubt: Michael Skurnik Wines has the most comprehensive and star-studded portfolio of Spanish wines available in this or any other market.

¡Olé!

The Skurnik Scrapbook
2011 Burgundy Offering

WINES OF REMARKABLE FRESHNESS, PURITY OF FRUIT AND SITE TRANSPARENCY!

The 2011 vintage in Burgundy is one of pleasure and grace, not of power. They are charming and approachably fresh – eminently enjoyable right now, while still capable of aging. Alcohol levels are lower for both whites and reds than the riper, later picked 2010 vintage, allowing for notable site transparency and immediate drinkability. As Clive Coates puts it, “The reds, lighter than the 2010s and less exotically rich than the 2009s, are delicious.”

ANYTIME IS THE RIGHT TIME FOR GROWER CHAMPAGNE!

Michael Skurnik Wines, in partnership with Terry Theise Estate Selections, has been importing some of the best, small production, Grower Champagne available for over a decade. Terry Theise Selections represents the largest Grower Champagne portfolio in the country – 15 different producers from 14 different villages throughout Champagne's 3 main departments, with over 80 different cuvées available. 5 of these producers are current members of The Special Club (Club de Tresors de Champagne, see link below), and account for 45% of all Special Club Champagne houses imported to the United States. Among all Grower Champagne sold in the United States the Terry Theise name can be found on the back of 1 out of every 2 bottles. These numbers may not mean much at first glance, but what they represent is Michael Skurnik Wines' commitment to tirelessly working to bring you the best champagne available from a wide range of styles, terroirs, and perspectives. In a time when consumer consciousness of Grower Champagne is at its highest, and a myriad of other importers are bringing in wines from the region that have not long been seen in your market and are of varying degrees of quality, Michael Skurnik Wines and Terry Theise Estate Selections remain names that can be trusted for continually representing quality. We can proudly stand behind our track record of representing Growers with excellent press, consistent customer satisfaction, and participating in the pioneering spirit of "Farmer Fizz".
