Oliver McCrum Wines has been importing small production Italian wine and distributing to fine retail and restaurant establishes throughout California since 1994. Over time, our portfolio of producers has steadily grown to over 45 producers from 15 different regions of Italy. We look for typical Italian wines with clarity and freshness, usually made from indigenous Italian grape varieties using clean, transparent winemaking techniques and no obvious use of oak.

Eating Our Way Through Italy

Michele Boscia

A team trip to Italy always re-ignites our burning passion for wine and spirits at Oliver McCrum. It also reminds of how amazing the food is. Here’s a quick look at some of our favorite meals from our recent adventures, from a rockin’ fish feast in Soave at Al Gambero with Pra, to pizza and pasta with Luigi Reale to drinks on Lake Garda with Sirene.
