Robin Baum Wines

In 2000, I was introduced to Giuseppe Sesti, at Castello di Argiano in Montalcino, by a good friend of mine who had just sold his highly successful wine merchant business in London and emigrated to Siena.  By the end of my visit to the estate, I was the proud owner of two barrels of Brunello di Montalcino 1997.

This was the foundation of The Winemakers Club, which then went on to import wines from throughout Italy to the U.K. and open its own wine bar in London.
