Importer, bar owner, shop owner, now winemaker and our dear friend, Fifi wears many hats in the industry. A true pioneer of vin nature in New York, France and beyond, Fifi has paved the way for many to learn and grow in an industry he’s helped shape himself.
For his first négoce project, Fifi has teamed up with Stephen Moran, proprietor of Domaine Leonine in Roussillon to collaborate on a series of wines that share a similar style to Domaine Leonine but with a touch of flair and intensity that is true to Fifi and his charisma.
