About the company
Skurnik Wines and Spirits is an independent, family-owned importer and distributor of fine wines, spirits, sake, & cider headquartered in the heart of New York City. We taste, select, and offer for sale to the trade a high-quality, diversified portfolio from around the world.
The story of Skurnik Wines began in 1987 when Michael started the business with just a handful of relatively unknown wineries. Today, the company represents over 800 estates, most of which are family-owned-and-operated. We are the local distribution partner for these brands in eight direct markets: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and California. Beyond our distribution footprint, we also are a national importer for almost 200 brands to distributors in all 50 states.
Our vision, as described by the Skurnik family:
“We look for the best in every category, at every price range, so we can bring products to market that people love.”
Michael Skurnik, Founder & CEO
“We provide an alternative to the larger distributors and brokers, and a service to smaller wineries. Our partners and customers are thrilled. We run our business like it’s a small company but we continue to grow.”
Harmon Skurnik, President
“As a family business through and through, we can keep ourselves grounded while encouraging smart growth. We’re dedicated to bringing the best wines and spirits to market for many years to come."
David Skurnik, Vice President of Special Operations
