ABOUT FRED MULLINS

“I have twenty plus years in wine sales, specialty retail, and restaurant profession. As a result I’ve sat in quite a few seats in this industry from being a partner in an small wine importing house, a Wine Director and General Manager for retail shops and restaurants, and my current role as Sales manager of Northern New England for VIAS Imports which includes the states of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. Through my years of travel and experience my focus has always been on devoting as much time and effort as I am able to the discipline that is wine with Italian wine being at the center. The culture of wine is an ever-shifting landscape that requires not only knowledge but an ability to relate your expertise while being objective and open minded.”
