Oliver mccrum Wines & spirits x Cage imports

Even though we specialize in Italian wine, we love drinking Champagne. So much so that we had long been dreaming of importing a selection of Champagne ourselves because—outside of Italian wine types—it is the wine type we drink and enjoy most. Hence, we’re excited to announce our new partnership with Cage Imports, a specialty Champagne importer.

When we met Garth and Cat from Cage, we immediately noticed the alignment between our approach to wine and our portfolios. Our ideas about what makes great wine are very similar: we both believe great wine starts in the vineyard, and we both gravitate towards wines of terroir, made with minimal intervention, that are classically-styled. Cage also specializes in Champagne with no intention of expanding outside of the region, just as we specialize in importing Italian wine. Tasting through the selections, we were absolutely blown away by the quality. It was a perfect match.

It also should be said that there is nothing more Italian than drinking Champagne. Italians love Champagne; all over the country. Even in the most unlikely places. We will be drinking quite a bit of these ourselves, but we hope there will be some left over for our customers. No guarantees!
