Rebecca Gingrass and Ruben Moreno are Napa-based wine importers who focus on family-run, organic, or sustainably-grown wines. Rebecca is the daughter of revered chefs, David and Anne Gingrass, while Ruben spent seven years honing his wine knowledge as a sommelier and captain at the world renowned restaurant, The French Laundry in Yountville.

Together they started the company as a wine importer and distributor 4-years ago. They have since expanded their portfolio to include a total of 9 producers from California, France, Italy and Spain. Many of their producers are exclusive to Soil & Vine and are just now being introduced to the US market. Many of their wineries have received prestigious awards and distinctions among the European wine community and are just now starting to receive high marks from outlets such as Robert Parker and Wine Enthusiast.
