About New France Wine Company

We're a small (4-person) company that specializes in niche producers who make great, even if not necessarily well-known, wine. New France Wine has been in Minnesota for 7 years; previously, Robert Rudolph, owner and founder, owned a distributorship/import wine company in San Francisco.

New France Wine Company (so named because the upper Midwest region was formerly known as New France by the French explorers who settled the area (a la New England), not because we carry only French wines; our selection spans the globe) has an large and eclectic portfolio, focusing on France, Italy, and Spain, but with an eye toward value in all parts of the world, including domestic, Portugal, Australia, and elsewhere. All of our imported wines are domaine-bottled, and we strive to work with producers who are the best at their craft (e.g., Palacios, Dagueneau, Huet, Pingus, Quintarelli, etc.).

We're wine people first (we select our wines because we think they're great wines and great values, not necessarily because they'll sell well) and salespeople second; we hand-sell all of our wine, working with retailers and restaurants to find what's right for them, not applying a cookie-cutter formula. Though we're a small company, we're known for the quality of our list, and work with all of the restaurants and retailers of note in the state of Minnesota.
