History

Skurnik Wines & Spirits is a family-owned and operated importer and distributor of fine wines and spirits founded in 1987 and headquartered in New York City. The company began with just a handful of relatively unknown estates in 1987 and has since grown to represent over 800 winemakers, distillers, and suppliers, most of which are also family-run. Over the past 35+ years, it has developed a reputation reflecting its goal that every product bearing the Skurnik logo is as close to a guarantee of quality as possible. Michael and Harmon Skurnik taste and approve every item that enters the portfolio. The company operates as a national importer and also has a direct wholesale distribution network in nine states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and California. According to the company's account, the genesis of Skurnik Wines & Spirits occurred in 1970 when Ruth and Nat Skurnik, parents of Michael and Harmon, went to France for the first time; the family legend says they "went to France Scotch drinkers, and came home wine drinkers."
