Bisou! Bisou! Wines imports and distributes natural wine. Co-founders Summer and Sasha have cultivated a friendship and working relationship that spans over 17 years. Recognizing the dearth of women-led enterprises in the beverage industry, particularly in natural wine importation, they sought to fill this gap with their own venture. Their portfolio is centered around winemakers who are deeply committed to cultivating their vineyards with the utmost respect for the earth and crafting wines that showcase the fruit's true essence with minimal human intervention. By employing this approach, the resulting wines are a celebration of the unique terroir and exhibit a vibrancy, complexity, and liveliness that is unmatched.
