About US

At Cork and Bottle Imports, we specialize in bringing Armenia’s micro-wineries—many of which are not yet known in North America—to a broader audience. We proudly feature Armenian indigenous grape varieties, some of which have been cultivated in the region for centuries. These wines are crafted with a perfect blend of time-honored winemaking traditions and modern techniques to meet international standards.

On the ground in Armenia, our team works closely with family-owned wine and spirit producers, taking the time to understand their unique processes and products. We ensure that each selection meets our high standards and the expectations of our customers, while collaborating with US-based experts in international indigenous grape varieties.

Since our official launch just four months ago, our wines have already earned GOLD, SILVER, and BRONZE medals in prestigious international wine competitions, including the Los Angeles International Wine Competition (LAIW) and the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) competition.

Meet the Founder

As a passionate wine and spirits enthusiast, I’ve always loved exploring wines from around the world, especially those with unique, indigenous grape varieties. But it wasn’t until my trips to Armenia in the autumns of 2017, 2018, and 2019 that I truly discovered an extraordinary part of my heritage—Armenia’s rich, historic role in winemaking. 

Inspired by this revelation, I founded Cork and Bottle Imports in 2024.

I invite you to join us on this exciting journey and experience the bold, expressive flavors of Armenia—where every sip embodies the essence of its fruit, earth, minerals, and the pure waters of the Caucasus.
