About us
Vitis 45 Select Imports, LLC
Curated Wine Importers
45
45° north, 45th parallel. It's a latitude started by wine. The latitude of Alba, Bordeaux, and other famous regions. Circling the world at a midpoint and across vast lands.
Select
Means Curated. Fine. Personal. Close relationships with your winemakers. We don't just visit their homes, they stay in ours over here. Our winemakers treat us like family and vice versa.
Imports
What started as a root in 1978 turned into a local wine enthusiast club by the mid-1980s. From repeated visits to the crus throughout the '90s came relationships where producers asked why not import? Since 2000 and a rebirth in 2026, importing curated wine is more than business, it is a pleasure.
From our roots as wine enthusiasts to lasting relationships with winemakers across the world, our story is built on trust, connection, and a shared love of exceptional wines, meals, and memories.
