Wine Consultant

Company Overview

PRP Wine International is the pioneer of in home wine samplings. We have been delivering the taste and feel of the vineyards to our client’s doorsteps since 1989. Our goal is to entertain and educate our clients on the world of fine wines. We firmly believe in building close relationships with all of our clients by offering a personal service that other wine companies simply cannot match. The acronym in our name represents our three main suppliers Pieroth, Romanet and Piccolomini.

PRP Wine International has been sharing fine wines exclusively to our clients through educational and fun wine tastings held in their homes and offices since 1972 in the USA.  PRP’s approach to wine enjoyment at home is based on “enjoyment without risk".  PRP is dedicated to providing the best wines at competitive prices while ensuring our customers are always happy with their selections.

The way we introduce our wines to our clients is through wine tastings in private and intimate environments where the wines being poured and the information shared is based 100% on the needs of the particular group or individual wine drinkers.

PRP Wine International is a market innovator of wine gifts for business through personalized labels and etched wine accessories.  We are also involved in sharing our concept through Charity Fund Raisers and Networking events giving back to the communities that support us around the country.
