Our Story

From 1998
to Today

McCaine’s story is not only about bottles. It is about the people, places and tables behind them.

1998

The Beginning

I entered the wine trade through the practical side of the business — shipping, accounting, marketing and customer relationships. It was where the long education in wine began.

2005

McCaine Wines

McCaine Wines was established and grew from a two-person company into a wider team, serving private customers and building experiences around wine.

The Years

Wine Beyond the Bottle

Private clients, wine travel, teaching, Bordeaux visits, dinners and countless conversations shaped a broader understanding of what wine means to different people.

Today

Back to What Matters

Today the approach is quieter and more focused: bottles worth opening, personal judgement, trust, and good company around the table.

Perhaps the goal is no longer to drink more wine. It is to know which bottles are worth opening.
