Episode 7: Small winemakers collection
Recorded September, 2021
In 1991, Richard Godin and Peter Wearing started talking, literally around the water cooler. Richard had recently been to his first wine tasting and Peter had visited wineries while travelling in Australia.
For some reason, they decided it would be a good idea to start a business as a wine importer with the sole intention of writing off travel expenses. So they did. Thirty years later, Small Winemakers Collection works with over 1,000 restaurants and 5,000 private customers.
