Like none other before us, we add something new to the world.

We know who we are and we know what we like, and we’re not afraid to stand out.

In fact, we were born to stand out.

We love what makes us different:

Our bold colors, our distinct style, our unique mix of highland & lowland agave. Hell, we’re a flamingo living in the desert.

We cherish our ability to express ourselves, and celebrate all those who do the same.

That’s INSÓLITO.

RARE. UNCOMMON. EXTRAORDINARY.

Scale Wine Group was founded in 2016 by Master Sommelier Desmond "Des" Echavarrie, alongside partners Jason Heller and Bryan Lipa, with a mission to help small, family-owned producers navigate national and international wholesale markets. [1, 2, 3]

The company was born out of a desire to bridge the gap between high-end boutique vineyards and the marketplace. Echavarrie, who previously served as a sommelier at The French Laundry and director of sales for Realm Cellars, recognized that many small, dynamic winemakers were brilliant at crafting exceptional wine but lacked the resources for wide distribution and brand visibility. [1, 2]

Driven by this need, Scale Wine Group was built to manage wholesale sales, marketing, and distribution for a highly curated portfolio of family-owned and winemaker-led boutique estates.
