* 2009 – Welcome to the new beginning. All companies have now been brought together, reflecting an increased focus in our activities. Our new name demonstrates the great confidence we have in the future. Why? Streamlined administrative and IT processes, a new attitude of service, new supplier goal management programs and a newly combined, veteran sales crew.
* 2012 – Acquired Neuburg Wine Company of Wisconsin, making it the third state Wine Cru operates in.

Rootstock Wine Company is Wisconsin's newest fine wine distributor - dedicated to bringing in wines from high quality producers around the world.

We maintain personal relationships with the importers, farmers, and wine growers who dedicate their lives to this extraordinary craft. We strive to show wines that are indicative of a place, from people who have a deep passion for their vines. It is for this reason that the majority of our wineries utilize sustainable, or even organic practices, not simply for the certification, but because this is what makes the best wine.
