Our passion and focus is Greek wines. We founded the company on the idea that high quality wines from Greece should be widely available in the U.S. because the average wine consumer was missing out on one of the world’s most ancient and enchanting wine regions and history. We source premium Greek wines from master winemakers, each representing a unique terroir, wide-ranging and indigenous varietals, sustainable practices, and above all else, superior quality and value that evoke a sense of place.
Our portfolio is always evolving to encompass new discoveries and trends, but we have a captivating core offering, in a range of price points, while keeping the American palate in mind. Our commitment as a company is to supply a consistent, quality portfolio to actively support individual markets – in partnership with our wineries and our distributors so that we can bring the best of Greek wines to all!
R&R is a family business, established in 2015, and has since expanded our distribution network throughout the U.S. We’re always happy to talk about Greek wines! Here’s the team behind the dream:

Eight years of experience in growing the Greek wine market, first in Texas, then throughout the U.S., Stephen is able to bring proven strategies to each new market – as well as fresh ideas that keep the Greek wine category flourishing. A native of Athens and Santorini, Greece, Stephen holds a Ph.D. in Biology, with a specialization in Herpetology and taught university courses before importing Greek wine became a full-time obsession.
