Mims Distributing Company Announces Partnership with Banville Wine Merchants
North Carolina Beer and Wine Distributor Expands Portfolio with Addition of New York Importer of Italian, French and Argentinean Wines.
Raleigh, NC, September 26, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Mims Distributing Company, a North Carolina wholesale beverage distributor, has partnered with Banville Wine Merchants to expand its international fine wines portfolio. The New York-based importer selects primarily family-owned “vigneron” wineries that produce top artisan wines to share with its distributing partners. Banville’s producers represent more than 30 prestigious wineries from Italy, France and Argentina.
The importer’s focus on family-owned, high-quality wineries strengthens Mims Distributing’s dedication to building a portfolio of wineries rooted in family tradition. This aligns with Mims Distributing’s own history as a family business with a passion for selling incredible wines. The wineries sought out by Mims Distributing dovetail perfectly with the breweries the company represents, run by people who love what they create.
Since re-engaging in the wine business in October 2014, Mims Distributing has experienced steady growth, fueled by the addition of a 10-person team to manage the division. Mims Distributing’s winery partners bring the best wines from places such as Oregon, Washington, California, as well as Europe, South America and New Zealand to an increasing number of wine enthusiasts statewide.
