Justin Saunders

Business Development Manager – GA, TN, SC, AL

I took a fairly roundabout way of getting into the wine business. Starting out, journeying from Houston, TX to Nashville, TN, to pursue a Business Degree with an emphasis in Audio Engineering from Belmont University, I finished up college and went straight into touring the world playing music. I was lucky enough to work with some world class talents performing on 4 continents and experiencing wine and food with travel. Living in Nashville, I have been able to do everything from play on platinum selling albums, to stand in for film and TV, even get out to LA to perform on late night shows. This passion, paired with a sibling that lived in France, made me realize that if I wasn’t doing music, my new love was wine.

While still getting to perform and record here and there, I am now 12 years in the wine business. Starting out in fine wine retail sales, through distribution and imports, my love continues to grow. I have a passion for food, wine and travel, and collecting wine along the way.

When not working, I’ll be found taking every hour of a day possible, venturing and exploring somewhere on the planet, or skiing a back bowl in the winter.
