Westlake Village Wine and Import is a specialty wine importer located in Southern California. We seek and discover small and boutique wine producers in Europe and South America who wish to have their wines represented in the U.S. market. Our goal is to establish a supply chain, based on relationships with our brands that will provide: time to market, quality to price ratio, ease of doing business, and customer focused decisions in all that we do.
Born in the Willamette Valley of Oregon and raised in the Central Valley of California, wine was meant to be in Rick's future. His professional background for most of his career has been in international supply chain management. He has been a passionate wine collector for over 18 years, and has travelled the world extensively enjoying the search for new and interesting wines. It was this passion that led him to create WLV Wine and Import. He currently splits his time between Los Angeles, California and Berlin, Germany.
