My name is Ronald Voss, but please call me Ron. I obtained my import license in 2008 while providing tax, accounting and wealth management advice as a CPA, a CFP, and CSA to my clients in my practice. It was my passion for wine that motivated me to enter this business of importing wine. It was my work as a CPA that motivated me to create an exciting wine distribution opportunity. As a CPA, I work with many new businesses to help them flourish through the start-up phase. It was a natural next step to combine my knowledge of business and my love of wine to help others become wine distributors. This is a unique business because many of the hurdles have already been addressed for you. I created the Unique Imported Wine distribution network, which brings energetic people into their own wine business. When you join the network, we present to you the most unique collection of wines at exceptional pricing, so you may market at attractive price points�a price that you decide. As your business customer base increases, Unique Imported Wines will continue to ship you wine from around the world. These wines are not available to just anybody. You start by carrying our Core 8 Wineries and as your business grows you will have access to a diverse and unique list of additional wines. Most wines are available to you at the low price of $4.50 to $6.50. Just think of your profit margin! The Core 8 Wineries have been reviewed and vetted for acceptance into the Unique Imported Wine network by the "Tasting Committee", composed of 14 people, all with a nose for the unique. We find wines that have appeal across the spectrum from the casual drinker to the sommelier. Our strategy is to find "mid price" point wines, at "low" point pricing. This strategy opens doors to your future customers. If you are an energetic individual you can build an initial customer base and will be ready to quickly add more wines and wineries to your offerings.
