“The retailer who works as an importer.”
Doug’s Discoveries
UNEARTHED SCHIST
Pedro Marque of Vale de Cupucha
No Points, No Prose, No Bullshit
Doug Rosen buys wines directly from makers in Spain, Portugal, Italy and Hungary and visits France four to five times year. When Rosen is traveling, he will taste 150 or more wines a day. He tastes each wine at least four times before buying it. If it’s a wine maker he’s never bought from, he will taste their wine even more times before purchasing it. “I only work with wine makers who are that top of their game and are pushing boundaries,” he says.
Growing grapes and then transforming them into wine are two different skillsets, Rosen says. “I believe that when wines are well made, they should be able to translate the specificity of the site, the geography and the weather into the glass.”
