CEO William Campbell literally grew up in the middle of the vineyards, helping his parents plant grapes as a child and then working summers at various wineries during high school and college.
The poor selection and high pricing of wine in Japan always bothered him, so after a 15 year career in banking, Campbell retired from JP Morgan in 2001 to run Hotei Wines full time.
To ensure the best quality at each price point, the Hotei team tastes more than 2000 different wines each year, and we run extremely efficient importing and warehouse operations in order to provide the best value to our customers.
We love all the wines we've selected, and hope that you do too!
