R&r Selections, Greek Wine Importer

What R&r Selections, Greek Wine Importer does

R&R Selections, LLC is a U.S.-based Greek wine importer and distributor founded in 2015 and headquartered in Frisco, Texas. The company was established by three family founders, Stephen Roussos, Caraline Roussos, and Patricia Redmond Trotter, with the goal of making fine Greek wines more widely available in the American market. It curates a portfolio of 11 Greek wineries spanning Santorini, Macedonia, Peloponnese, Crete, the Cyclades, Central Greece, and Epirus, representing 300 indigenous varietals and 33 Protected Designation of Origins (PDOs). The portfolio includes heritage producers such as Gavalas Winery (300 years of history) and Domaine Porto Carras, alongside newer estates such as Anhydrous Winery (established 2021).

The company's business model is a classic multi-tier wine import and distribution operation. R&R Selections sources wines from Greek producers and sells them through a layered U.S. distribution network, anchored by Reyes Beverage Group (9 states) and complemented by regional distributors including RNDC, Manhattan Beer & Beverage, and Martignetti Companies. Retail touchpoints include national chains (Total Wine, Wine.com) and regional specialty retailers (HEB, Central Market, Specs, Goody Goody). The company also runs curated wine tours to Greek wine regions as a complementary revenue stream and brand-building activity. Pricing is determined by individual retailers and is not publicly disclosed.

R&R Selections emphasizes education and trade support as a core differentiator, distributing tech sheets, state-specific decks, and portfolio materials to help distributors and retailers sell Greek wines. The portfolio has accumulated recognition from Decanter, James Suckling, Wine Advocate, Jancis Robinson, Wine & Spirits, and Texsom International Wine Awards, with several wines scoring 89-94 points. The company remains a small, bootstrapped private LLC with 1-10 employees and no disclosed institutional funding.

Direct peers

• Quintessential Wines: Family-run importer of artisanal wines and spirits from Italy, Spain, France, and beyond, working with national/regional distributors. Comparable as a small specialty importer with curated estate portfolios and reliance on trade education.
• Vias Imports: Specialty wine importer focused on Italian and select Mediterranean family estates, distributed through major US wholesalers to restaurants and retailers. Directly comparable as a portfolio importer of artisanal, terroir-driven European wines with similar multi-tier US distribution model.
• Broadbent Selections: Importer specializing in family-owned European wineries (notably Madeira and Douro), distributed across US wholesalers and retailers. Comparable as a small boutique importer focused on underrepresented regional categories with concentrated portfolios.
• Vineyard Brands: Specialty wine importer representing family-owned European estates across multiple Old World origins, distributed nationally. Comparable as a medium-scale boutique importer competing for the same shelf space in fine-wine retailers and restaurant wine lists.
• Diamond Wine Importers: Specialty wine importer curated around family-owned European estates, distributed through national and regional wholesalers to fine-wine retailers and restaurants. Comparable as a small, portfolio-driven importer of artisanal Old World wines.
• Skouras Wines: Greek winery and US import operation led by the Skouras family, focused on indigenous Greek varietals from Peloponnese. The closest direct peer — same origin country, same varietal story (Xinomavro, Agiorgitiko, Moschofilero), and same US importer-distributor model.

Broad incumbents

• Terlato Wines International: Large multi-origin fine-wine importer with premium Italian and global portfolio, distributed nationally through major wholesalers. Comparable as a much larger incumbent that competes for the same fine-wine retailer and on-premise accounts with broader portfolios.
• Palm Bay International: Large, multi-origin wine importer with broad European and global portfolio (including Bellussi Prosecco, Dreaming Tree, Boutari). Comparable as an established incumbent that competes with R&R for Greek-wine placement and consumer mind-share but operates at much larger scale and broader portfolio.
• Southern Glazer's Wine and Spirits: The largest US beverage alcohol distributor, carrying thousands of wine and spirits brands across all 50 states. Comparable as the dominant incumbent in the same downstream distribution channel on which R&R depends, and a likely competitor for shelf placement of any broader Greek category program.
• Kobrand Corporation: Established importer of premium European wines and spirits (Château d'Esclans, Taste Wine, etc.) distributed nationally. Comparable as an established specialty importer competing in the same fine-wine retail and sommelier channels.
