Cannon Wines:

Cannon Wines Limited was founded in 1979 to market both imported and domestic premium wines and spirits in the United States. Today, Cannon Wines represents brands from across the globe and is composed of a team of well-qualified business professionals, each with wide-ranging experience in launching and building successful brands. From concept inception and strategic planning to market introduction and public relations, Cannon Wines partners closely with its suppliers to create and/or market successful brands.

As an importer, Cannon Wines works as a liaison between the supplier, the distributor and the market. Crucial to the success of the brands that Cannon Wines represents is its network of carefully selected distributors. The right of entry to the distributor in a given market has become the first challenge facing a brand owner. Cannon Wines assures its supplier's success by providing an established network of major distributors who dominate the United States Market.

Supervising the work of the distributor is Cannon Wines' team of Zone Managers, each located in the key markets throughout the United States. In addition to creating effective sales programs and directing market execution, Zone Managers monitor distributor performance, create key market relationships, conduct sales training, develop sales promotion and participate in trade events and tastings.

With its corporate headquarters in San Francisco, California, Cannon Wines Limited is operated under the leadership of President and CEO, Laurent Fortin.

JF Wine Imports:

Scott Paul Selections:

In 2005 we launched our Burgundy import company, Scott Paul Selections. We import nearly 100 different wines from 15 producers and sell them nationally through our distribution channels, as well as offer them for tasting and for sale in our tasting room. Red Burgundies are produced in the Burgundy region of France from the same grape we grow here — Pinot Noir — allowing us to offer visitors the unique opportunity to taste New World Pinot from Oregon and Old World Pinot from Burgundy side by side.

Scott's passion for wine was born over many bottles of great Burgundy on the family dinner table while growing up in Chicago. "I seek out wines made in a style that I love to drink at home. From established superstars to the next generation of rising stars, I'm on a mission to bring the best of Burgundy to America. I personally taste and select every wine that we import and sell. I have long-term relationships with our producers, and only bring in wines grown and made by people who are committed to the highest quality and attention to detail." He's a student of all things Burgundian, and spends up to eight weeks each year in the region working closely with all of our producers.
