Skumik Wines & Spirits Claimed

Skurnik Wines & Spirits is an importer and distributor of fine wines and spirits headquartered in the heart of New York City. We represent a high-quality, diversified portfolio of wines and spirits from around the world. The company began with just a handful of relatively unknown estates in 1987, and has since grown to represent over 500 estates, most of which are family-owned-and-operated. We are a national importer, and also have direct wholesale wholesale distribution network to 8 states; New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, California, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. The business was incorporated in 1987 by Michael Skurnik, and in 1989 he was joined by his brother, Harmon. Their sister Rita came aboard in 1991, and the roots of a true family business were officially planted. Today, every member of the second generation of Skurniks has proudly flown the company flag; including Lisa, Michele, Nathan, David, Erica, Oren and Ryan. Similar to how our wine producers pass the baton from one generation to the next, Skurnik Wines & Spirits is poised to continue its excellence (and even improve on it) long into the future. The genesis of Skurnik Wines & Spirits occurred in 1970 when Ruth and Nat Skurnik (Michael and Harmon’s parents) went to France for the first time and returned home “winos.” It was after this trip that they built a wine cellar in our basement, stocked it with Bordeaux and Burgundies from the great vintages of the 60’s as well as a selection of Rhônes, Germans and other goodies. Mom and Dad started opening wines with dinner each night and it was at our dinner table in Merrick, Long Island, that we got our first real exposure to wine.
