Republic where is the question? Being the second largest distributor in the nation has its perks ??

The portfolio I work with in Houston is much larger than Louisiana. We have duckhorn, Plumpjack, shafer, scarecrow, silver oak, caymus, Cakebread, Joseph phelps, Robert mondavi, simi, Rochioli, Kendall Jackson, Verite, Merus, Ovid, darioush, Ramey, Ramian, Araujo, Dalla Valle, Archery Summit, Pine Ridge, Penner Ash, Belle Glos, hundred acre, Brewer Clifton, checkerboard, diamond creek, domaine serene, fisher, Justin, kata, ken wright, Krupp brothers, leonetti, Lokoya, lindstrom, long shadows, montelena, merryvale, Moone tsai, pahlmeyer, palmaz, pride, quintessa, schramsberg, shirvington, Silverado, frogs leap, stags leap wine cellars, st supery, spring mountain, Staglin, Trefethen, vineyard house.

Bruno Giacosa, Banfi, Bollinger, bertani, Gaja, catena, the Eric Solomon and Winebow portfolios, any Bordeaux you want, Romanee Conti, domaine leflaive, Lucien Moine, Olivier Bernstein, Ornellaia, sassicaia, zind humbrecht are just a touch of old world selections.

I love the people at Internstional especially their beer and spirits portfolio for some boutique stuff, but they honestly couldn't touch this portfolio. This is literally like 5% of what we have

Not sure if you intentionally misspelled Mexican or were trying to ask for Massican wines. Not sure who sells Massican though and its members only on their website so it may be allocated.

Yep he's the oldest cousin in my moms side. I'm second. And the RNDC portfolio in Texas is like you think RNDC Louisiana and merged purveyors and wines unlimited into it while cherry picking some nice portfolios off some others.

Yeah there are tens of thousands of skus in our warehouse. It's amazing. The company posted on Facebook that our Texas wine only division broke $1billion in sales this year, setting a company record for a state and nation.

I wanna play a joke on RK. What's a good wine or somethings you all offer that he doesn't at International? I want to text him whatever it is and ask about it.

2012 Ken Wright Pinot Noir....tell him you think it was Carter Vineyard. Tell him it's the best Pinot you've ever had and was told he is the best winemaker in Oregon (he actually is lol).

I used to be in BR but have ventured into the dark side in Bama country. International is in play here but it's mostly spread out between Alabama Crown, United Johnson Brothers and Pinacle. ive gotten to sample a lot of product through the years. Good reps are hard to come by these days

Question my man.... I really enjoy Anthony Bell's wines from Bell in Yountville, CA. Republic distributes his wines in Arkansas (where I used to travel for work and was able to pick up his Syrah and Cabs), but Republic doesnt distribute his wines here n LA. Why cant we make that happen? Do you carry it in Houston? I travel to Houston fairly often.

Ive been saving my last 2007 & 2008 Bell Syrah's like they are something special, lol.

Will they not ship to Louisiana? If not, I'm glad to receive it for you here in Texas and forward to you. pannycricketstd at gmail

I say that because they HOUND me like no other winery about buying more wine outside of my allotment.

Do they have the style and vintage you are looking for on their website?

I'm a pretty big fan; wife--not so much.
