Welcome!
This website is devoted to a selection of fine wine estates from Austria, whose wines are available in the United States through wine importer and distributor, Slocum & Sons, located in North Haven, Connecticut. This portfolio has been created by Eric Litchfield, a wine professional and German and Austrian wine expert with 28 years of experience importing and promoting wines from these two countries. He has spent considerable time selecting producers that define today's highest standards of winemaking. Mr. Litchfield's philosophy is allowing the wine producer and nature to harmonize equally, utilizing sustainable agriculture, organic and biodynamic farming to reach the purest expression of grape varietal, micro-climate and terroir, yielding wines of supreme balance and elegance.
