Meet The Alchemists

Chris Nicola and Garth Hodgdon met at a Krug Champagne tasting in 2014. At that time, Chris was working for Apple, Inc. and Garth was Krug's US Ambassador. Naturally, their mutual love of champagne resulted in a wonderful friendship spanning across years of experiencing food, wine, travel and, of course, unique and unforgettable champagnes. Today, their vast experience and knowledge has coalesced into a great team of professionals working hard to meticulously curate a portfolio of some of the very best champagne producers on the planet.

Their mission, rooted since the beginning, is to bring unique and undiscovered producers to the forefront of the industry, one relationship at a time.
