ABOUT ANSONIA
Ansonia Wines is Mark and Tom Wilcox, father and son wine merchants. We import and sell small batch French wines from winemakers we know. We’re based outside Boston, but ship to most places in the US.
“For wine consumers who love history and storytelling, Ansonia Wines delivers.” – Forbes.com
BURGUNDY SPECIALISTS
We work with winemakers around France, but Burgundy is the focus and majority of our portfolio. We stock around 200 Burgundies, most of which are $40-$150, with vintages back to 2007.
Outside Burgundy, we offer wines from the RhĂ´ne Valleys, Bordeaux, Loire Valley, Champagne, Alsace, and more.
