Stellar Imports is owned by Sam and
Stella Catechis. Sam, no stranger to Greek wine, has managed the Achaia Clauss account
in America for almost fifteen years. Each time it changed importers, Sam was brought
on to guide it nationally. Finally, two years ago, Achaia Clauss and Sam saw a great
opportunity: who better than Sam, more qualified than anyone, to become the company's
importer? At the same time, Sam and Stella (herself on her way to earning a Masters
of Wine) felt strongly that a market existed for many of Greece's small, quality
producers. The couple created Stellar in 2001 to meet both these needs. After working
with Achaia on new packaging and a more focused American portfolio, Sam began seeking
suitable boutique wineries to fill out the offering.
Now, with Achaia firmly reestablished in the market and their small producers carefully
placed around the country, Stellar is in full swing. |
