About Boutique Wine Collection
Boutique Wine Collection was founded by Bryce McNamee in February of 1999; the company has grown by seeking out and importing quality focused boutique brands from Austria, France, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain and Germany. Each brand has its own fit in the repertoire of wines that complete the Boutique Wine Collection; this fit is measured by winemaker skill, origin, varietal, price, and style of wine. This carefully balanced portfolio of wines allows for unique expression of each supplier from each country while the company continues to grow.
Philosophy of the Company
Balance being the most important element in fine wine, was chosen as the logo for Boutique Wine Collection. The logo is composed by the base of a wine glass, which morphs into a vine that bifurcates at the top forming the arms of a scale measuring the balance between the vineyards and the wine. Being a Libra, Bryce McNamee has always striven to find balance in life as well as wine.
The Company Philosophy on Wine
The most important influence in creating a fine wine is people. People have crafted fruit into wine for millennia. This has become art for other people to smell and taste. It is these same people who have taught others about the many aspects of wine over time. Wine then trades through numerous hands to be ultimately drunk and enjoyed with others in an environment that creates happiness and good memories. From these experiences and stimuli they learn to treasure wine and save these delights for future pleasure. Wine and people age together and give one an opportunity to reflect on their joint past.
Wine is art. Opinions about art are subjective. Trusting your palate is like looking at painted art; people either understand it and admire it or they don’t relate to it. It’s critical to remember that people enjoy many types of art and it’s true that when people open a bottle of wine, they want to like it, whether they do or not is up to the individual’s tastes. Thus our company’s mission is to convey the story of various origins of wine to people who embrace wine as a dynamic art made by hand.
