Vin Fraîche Wine Group is a portfolio of sommelier created & curated wineries from California, Oregon, Washington, Bordeaux and Tuscany. Founded by Michael Kennedy, former sommelier for chef Eric Ripert & the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company - and joined now by an amazing team of winemakers & sommeliers. Our company was founded with the mindset of curation: find the best land, find the best people, create opportunities to do cool things with amazing people. What separates us from other winery portfolios? Our production for each winery is less than 2,000 cases, in fact, most are less than 1,000. Our management team is made up of sommeliers & winemakers, who are using their experience to ensure each winery has a true wine-focused purpose. Our founder, Michael Kennedy, is the managing partner of each of the wineries we represent, creating a common thread of thoughtfulness and focus to each site. Although small as individual wineries, packaging our sales & management together allows us to operate as a collective, gathering resources to reach audiences in a more personal and meaningful way.
