Brazos wine imports is a boutique importer based out of Aspen, CO and Charleston, SC. The company was founded in 2008 by partners Brian Ravitsky and Jonathan Chaplin. Brazos mission is to work with family owned, small production, boutique wineries from around the world. We have started off with three wineries from the Mendoza region of Argentina, with a focus on high quality Malbec, the wineries are Vistandes, Clos de Chacras, and Familia Bonfanti. Our goal is to showcase wines that have soul, history, and a sense of place. We hope to educate people on the various sub-regions of Mendoza and other locales as we grow our portfolio. Life is too short, it should be enjoyed with wine. Tranquilo, Brazos Wine Imports
