Thank you. I received my order today. My father orders from you. We are Armenian and he loves your wines. I ordered one for him for Christmas which is also his birthday. My friends love it too.

Meet Stepan - Founder of myWine+

A lawyer by training, Stepan had a passion for wine and started the wine importation and distribution company in 2005 which became myWine+, a Los Angeles based online retailer of
premium quality wines. Stepan loves great wines and discovering new wines and new wine regions. 

“I love the hunt to bring hard to find wines from established classic wine regions like Bordeaux, Tuscany and Napa as well as discovering new regions, such as Armenia.” Stepan Baghdassarian 

 In 2010 Stepan saw the
renaissance of quality winemaking in Armenia and started the WinesofArmenia.com
platform to import and market quality wines from Armenia and to provide a distribution channel in the United States to many small wineries in Armenia
that were making fantastic wines and needed to tell their stories and sell their wines to the outside world. And now, myWine+ is the largest retailer of premium Armenian wines in the United States.
