Gude’s distribution network started in the USA from his New York corporate office. Here he created one of
New York’s top distribution networks for Spanish wines. As a specialty supplier to the industry, Mr. Gude controlled over 165 Spanish labels. The success of his operation led
him to focus on the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago where there was a void for artesian-produced wines from the many regions of Spain. In 2009 he purchased a fully climate-controlled warehouse along with a fleet of temperature- controlled Mercedes-Benz trucks to ensure his wines were stored and delivered with the utmost care. Garnacha is unmatched from the point of loading its wines into climate- controlled ocean freight containers to final delivery points,
To create an exceptional portfolio of premier Spanish wines, Mr. Gude included a selection from the Jorge Ordonez portfolio. Most of Garnacha’s wines hold an industry rating of 90 points and above. Gude held five of his wines with a rating of 100 points. Simply outstanding! Garnacha’s staff ranks among the most knowledgeable within the State of Illinois as well
as other states.
“We know and understand our portfolio and can offer retailers superior levels of service. Garnacha is growing its current portfolio of 132 Spanish labels to include wines of Italy, Portugal, Argentina, France and the Americas”, states Mr. Gude. He, along with CEO,
Ron DeSantis, crafted a complete comprehensive import and distribution portfolio which includes an impressive array of Proseccos, Sparkling Wines and Fortified Dessert Wines. With an unwavering commitment to its clients, Garnacha continues to assemble a portfolio that reflects a reputation for high quality and great value.
