About this event
It's with great excitement that we invite you to join us at Skurnik HQ for a focused exploration of our South African portfolio with the winemakers themselves! Tasting through their latest releases, you'll see why we feel that a winemaking revolution has unfolded in the Rainbow Nation over the last 20 years.
Building on a grape-growing tradition dating back to the 17th century and a jaw-dropping diversity of terroir, South Africa is quietly producing some of the very best wines in the world. It's a rare opportunity to have this many of our producers in the same room together, so it should be a lekker time. We hope to see you there.

Peter-Allan Finlayson - Gabrielskloof & Crystallum
Jean Smit - Damascene & Moya Meaker
Marelise Niemann - Momento
Alex Starey - Keermont
Craig Wessels - Restless River
Adi Badenhorst - Caperitif & Saldanha

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."
