Noah Bass

After many years of collecting wine as a hobby, Noah entered the wine industry in 1982, working in wholesale wine distribution. Within a few years, he became an executive at a growing distributorship, where his responsibilities included expanding the product line and increasing wine sales. In this position, he traveled extensively throughout California, France and Italy to find high-quality producers to bring to the NY/NJ market.

Later Noah joined a distributorship that specialized in imported wines to create and manage an American wine division for them. The portfolio he developed included numerous wineries that went on to receive national recognition and acclaim, including some of California’s original “garage wines.”

In 1995, he partnered with a California wholesaler to establish a fine wine distributorship for the metro New York/New Jersey market. After 6 years of growth and success, the company was purchased by Martin Scott Wines where Noah became a senior executive, working with them for 15 years.
