Customer Spotlight: Coeur Wine Co.

Eric Clemons started Coeur Wine Company in 2013, proudly plying a trade that dates back millennia. The goal is simple: to connect passionate producers making honest, authentic wines, spirits, and ciders with equally passionate customers.

Coeur Wine seeks out these properties: high acidity, minerality, balanced alcohol levels, quirky, off-beat, and oft-overlooked wines that make the wine world such an interesting place, traditional winemaking that preserves the ways of the past as well as young upstarts daring to be different.

They are big believers in wines being made with as little manipulation as possible, and their portfolio focuses on natural, organic, and biodynamic wines. For spirits, they take a similar approach and work with actual human beings making these beverages and not with “brands”.
