Matthew began his wine career at the age of 19, working at a prestigious wine shop in Miami that specialized in artisan family growers from around the world. From there his established love of wine took him to Argentina, where he led sales for an emerging young producer, learning the ins and outs of wine growing and production. Upon returning to the U.S., Matthew continued his career in the distribution tier, selling fine wines from around the world to top accounts in South Florida. After five years there, an opportunity presented itself and he became a regional manager for an established but growing importer of superb Greek wines, managing wholesalers in 20 states on the East Coast. Matthew joined the Lail team with over 16 years of experience, and serves as our Director of National Sales.
