Bliss Wine Imports

General information

Bliss Wine Imports began as a brainchild of Alleah Friedrichs and Erin Geyer in 2012. With no previous experience in the wine industry, the ladies built the company from scratch doing ole fashioned research. After everything was licensed, it was off to Europe for 9 months to scout and choose the first wines.

While on the trip the ladies visited Joao Tavares de Pina at Quinta da Boavista. Within a few weeks, Andrey Ivanov rolled through the same winery. Andrey was working as a Beverage Director in St. Louis at the time and was scouting new wines for his award winning wine program at Elaia & Olio. He loved Joao's wines and wanted to get them into the US. Joao pointed Andrey towards Alleah and Erin and a friendship was born.

Fast forward three years and Andrey is now National Sales Manager and the portfolio has grown to 18 producers across 8 countries, all hand sourced by the trio. The vineyards are all at the least farmed with organic practices, owned by a family run company, and relay a glimpse into the true character of the region- yesteryear or today.

Alleah, Erin, and Andrey invite you to live vicariously through our wines. Taste the region, the grapes, and the passion of the winemaker. Our wines will transport you to the furthest reaches of the wine world while bringing the experiences we had finding them to your glass. Cheers!
