about us
The Wine Company was founded in Canada in 1991 and began US operations in 1996. We are one of Canada's leading bulk wine brokerages, sourcing wine from around the world for leading Canadian wineries. We also work closely with partner wineries in Argentina and Chile to create unique wines for private label brands for our clients in Canada, the Caribbean Islands, Finland, India and the USA.
Romance Wines LLC is operated by managing partner, Brian Kinsella. Brian has traveled extensively throughout the wine world and has been a respected wine consultant, broker and educator since 1991. After more than 20 years in executive management with major international tire companies, Brian decided to devote himself to his true passion -- wine. Since 1991 he has focused on three major endeavors in the wine business -- sourcing bulk wine internationally for sale to Canada's leading wineries; sourcing wines and consulting on private label brand development; and importing, distributing and marketing new wines from emerging wineries in South America.
how romance wines came to be
In the Spring of 2003 on a wine-sourcing trip to Argentina, we tasted samples of some wonderful, deep-colored red wines from a family-owned bodega ("winery"). These were big, pleasing wines with a long finish and dominant red and black fruit. The wines had not yet been fully-developed and so over many conversations and bottles of wine, we created a wine we love to drink ourselves. We brought together the passion of Argentina's beloved tango and the beauty and romance symbolised by the rose. What else to call this beauty but Romance?Everyone needs a little Romance in their life!
