Our story doesn’t start with Fine Wine & Spirits, instead it starts with people.  Several years ago, a wonderful friend of mine from Sicily asked me to fly to her home town of Riesi for a visit.   It wasn’t meant to be a time of exploration, but of discovery.  You see, Rosy has a big heart for the people of Sicily and she wants only the best for them in their efforts to make ends meet.  The first step to satisfying that need is employment.   Rosy had a plan, and that plan was to promote a product that she believed would sell itself once others were exposed to it.

In Sicily, Wine, Spices & Olive Oil are more than just a staple found in a kitchen cupboard or on a countertop where it is used to enhance the flavor of food.  Instead, it is part of a greater tradition that echo’s the history of the land they have grown up on  Wine, Spices & Extra Virgin Olive Oil are cherished.  Many families have several vines and olive trees of their own in their yard that date back well over one hundred years.  Every Fall, the grapes & olives are hand harvested and pressed with a traditional press that may have been handed down for generations, or brought to a local pressing facility were they press your fresh fruit for you.
