Quigley Fine Wines, San Diego, small family importer of rare, hard-to-find biodynamic organic wines
Quigley's diligent passion and work bring you the BEST WINES from Vineyard to Table.
The movement is rooting itself in the dining rooms of Americans around the country. People want to know the story behind what they are consuming - where it comes from, how it was grown and how it impacts their health and the environment. The spotlight, for the moment, is on food quality. But once you start paying attention to what is on your plate, you then can’t help but wonder what is in your glass…
This is why it is our mission to source only high-quality wines from small, family-owned and operated wineries. We focus on wines made in limited production and which are sustainably produced. The majority of the vineyards we work with practice organic or biodynamic viticulture.
What makes us unique, aside from our wines, is that we do not work with distributors, wholesalers, retailers, or anyone else who can stand in the way of the easy flow of wine from vineyard to table. Far too often the stories, tradition and nuances of a wine are lost in transit and forgotten when a wine hits the shelf - a label and a price tag is all that is left… We are the exclusive importers of these wines to the United States and we bring them directly to your table - complete with the full story of how the wine was made, how the grapes were raised and the family and winemakers behind each bottle.
We offer our wines exclusively to our clients, our friends and family, and to a few select fine-dining establishments.
Meet Founders and Co-Owners Brendan & Chrissy Quigley and Jeff & Mary Shapiro.
Brendan & Chrissy Quigley, Founders & Co-Owners
Brendan and Chrissy have been a part of the wine industry since 1999. With a combined 40-plus years of buying and selling - and of course swirling, sipping and tasting wines - they are proud to be able to bring their favorites to friends, family and customers around the country. It is with great pride that every bottle of wine offered in the Quigley Fines Wine portfolio is personally selected by Brendan for its high quality and what the Quigley’s like to call its “WOW” factor - meaning a truly amazing bottle of wine, and a unique and beautiful expression of its terroir.
When not at the tasting room or enjoying a bottle of fine wine, Brendan and Chrissy can usually be found coaching their children’s baseball and soccer teams, enjoying the beautiful San Diego beaches or hiking with their pup, Maggie.
Jeff & Mary Shapiro, Founders & Co-Owners
Jeff’s career spans over 40 years in the helicopter and wine industry. He was President & General Manager of a major division of Bell Helicopter before founding Dart Helicopter Services LLC (now named Dart Aerospace) which became the world’s largest helicopter accessory company. Jeff sold Dart in 2011.
In 2009, Jeff & Mary founded Quigley Fine Wines, when on a trip to Italy, they discovered that the best Italian wines were not being exported to the United States due to American importers' focus only on quantity and price. Jeff is a commercial helicopter pilot and the author of 9 books.
More can be learned about Jeff on his website at: jeffreymarkshapiro.com Mary has been a key component in Quigley Fine Wines over the last 13 years, working continually with our 34 International vineyards and their families.
