DSWE was
founded by Paolo and Allison
Domeneghetti in 1999. The company now operates as a
national importer of fine wines and artisan spirits; and as
a wholesaler Domaine Select Merchants in NY, NJ, CT and CA.
The partners involved in Domaine Select Wine Estates have
each been working in the beverage industry for many years.
Paolo Domeneghetti has
had an extensive career in the restaurant and wine & spirits
business, spanning a period of more than twenty-five years
of progressive and successful experience in marketing, sales,
management and ownership. Paolo began in this industry in
his native country of Italy. Looking to expand his experience
and career in wine, he moved to the United States nearly 20
years ago. Throughout his career, he has been involved in
projects in the epicenters of food and wine including Venice,
Italy and in the U.S., San Francisco, Seattle, Miami and of
course New York City. Founding Domaine Select has been a lifelong
ambition, and one borne with a very clear identity and philosophy,
which Paolo strongly upholds today.

Allison
Domeneghetti has been a wine enthusiast for more than
15 years. After working for several years in fine arts institutions
in New York City, including the New Museum of Contemporary Art
and Sotheby’s New York, her interest in wine on a professional
level was sparked during the first U.S. wine auctions held in
NY in 1994. From that point, she has not looked back and has
worked alongside Paolo to build a company where passion comes
first.
Seeing the necessity in the market for an organization that
would truly represent the best interests of the suppliers, while
respecting the needs of the customer, Domaine Select has established
an unprecedented business model where we are working as “partners”
with the suppliers. DSWE offers a diverse opportunity for the
supplier to customize their business in the United States. The
model supports sales, education and brand development in the
most creative and dynamic ways.
Since inception nine years ago, the philosophy and mission of
DSWE have proudly remained unchanged by always celebrating character,
diversity, expression and tradition on every level. |
