Ruben Elmer - Partner

Ruben spent his formative years working in Toronto’s restaurant industry and was widely considered to be among the best Sommeliers of the time. He made the leap from Sommelier to wine importing in 2006 and worked with the top firm of Profile Wine Group for over 10 years. In his capacity there, he was responsible for the large On Premise sales team, portfolio selections and grower relations. Being a resident of Toronto enables Ruben to offer on-ground support to your Winery, along with insider’s knowledge and access to Canada’s biggest wine market.

 Roberto Albis - Partner

Raised on a steady diet of  Barolo, Barbaresco, Bravado  & Bordeaux, Rob has spent most of his life at the helm of the family’s restaurants business, he eventually decided to commit himself entirely to the wine business and has been a disrupter since that day. Always a regular on the wine scene (Think late nights at Vinitaly, long days at ProWein & massive Champagne tabs) Rob has developed a large and diverse network of contacts. He has traveled extensively (always 1st Class) to the wine producing regions of the world but his spiritual home lies somewhere between Alba and Etna.
