We decided to create Fida not to sell a lot of wine, or to sell wine that is available through our fantastic trade partners throughout the 50 U.S. states, or to go beyond the narrow range of estates we work with directly. We want to speak with passionate wine lovers about our estates. Though we do it every day through the hundreds upon hundreds of tastings, dinners and other activities across the U.S., as a trade-focused business we can't keep up the conversation or effectively share the amazing stories we hear about from our producers on a weekly basis. We want to go deeper. We know why our producers are so extraordinary, and we hope that by making a deeper connection with you, you'll understand, appreciate and, above all, enjoy their wines even more. We offer limited quantities of older vintages of our producers' collectibles, small lots of wines that do not make it to our country, and even some special projects we've worked on together. These unique and unforgettable wines bring intimacy and texture to the stories around our producers. Fida is also a commitment. Just as our visionary producers obsess over details to create some of the world's most brilliant wines, we commit to bringing you their wines in the best possible condition. We ship directly from our producers (or in the case of Bordeaux, from negociants who have purchased directly from estates) on a date noted, shipped in refrigerated container, and stored at our warehouse under temperature control since a date noted. Each bottle of wine receives individual attention from our producers, and deserve it from us. We also commit to you the exceptional service that lovers of these wines deserve, making someone deeply knowledgeable about each estate readily available.
