about via pacifica
![]() |
Via Pacifica Selections, based in Sebastopol, California, imports and markets handcrafted wine from New Zealand to the United States. Via Pacifica Selections was born in the late 1990s, when Howard and Shelly Kalmer fell in love with New Zealand and its wines. The business was started at a time when New Zealand wines were not well-known, but the Kalmers’ focus on premium, estate wineries and their enthusiasm in presenting them led to success in the market. As demand by the American consumer grew for New Zealand wine, the business grew as well. In 2005, David and Michelle Duckhorn joined the company as partners, and in 2007, became the managing partners. |
