Cameron Hughes Wine

Description

With an obsession for quality and innovation, Cameron Hughes Wine is dedicated to building a reputation for delivering the best domestic and international wine values in the marketplace today. Our focus is on buying at the high-end, small available ‘Lots’ of super premium wine. Because not all wine at the high-end is bottled and sold to you, we rescue those ‘Lots’, do some stylistic blending and the key is, we then sell direct to you or our retailers. So in short: no winery, no distributor and no wholesaler. That’s a lot of cost taken out without ever compromising the quality or integrity of the wine.

Our company produces and markets wine under the Cameron Hughes “Lot” program. We do not own vineyards or ferment wine. Our business model is built around what we call in the industry the “spot” market for super/ultra premium bulk wines. Essentially, what this means in plain English is that we eliminate the middlemen. We use our own palates as guides to deliver delicious, super premium wine that is easily accessible price and style-wise.

Our company is founded on the concept that excellent wine should be available at a value price. We know that it’s hard for the wine lover to know how to navigate the scores, prices and hype about wine out there. By working extra space with vineyards throughout California we bring our customers the finest values and new exciting wines that give them the unique status of truly being “wine insiders.”

Commitment

At Cameron Hughes Wine, our most recent challenge wasn’t a difficult vintage...it was the bitter taste left by the realization that as our business grows, so will our negative impact on the environment. After all, we rely heavily on shipping services to receive wines from around the globe and make customer deliveries across the country. If we really break out the “true” cost of the wine, shouldn’t that be factored into the equation?

And so we began to wonder – is there something we can do as part of our business model to mitigate the toll we take on the planet?

The answer – a resounding YES! Using calculators developed by Carbonfund.org, we’ve tallied up the emissions generated by shipping our wine to our retailers and signed on as a CarbonFree® partner, allowing Cameron Hughes Wine to offset a large part of our emissions,
