Broadbent Selections
In June 1997 Decantermagazine named Bartholomew Broadbent one of the “fifty most influential people in the wine world…the faces to watch in the new millennium.” Today, he has expanded from his pivotal role in the breathtaking growth of Port and Madeira to exert a profound influence on the US wine market. Bartholomew, son of legendary Michael Broadbent, is now one of America’s leading wine importers, and among America’s top wine educators.
His company, Broadbent Selections, Inc. was nominated as one of the top five wine importers by Wine Enthusiast in 2005 and has been named one of the “100 Fastest Growing Companies” by Dun and Bradstreet in Entrepreneur Magazine. He makes Port, Madeira, and Vinho Verde in Portugal under the Broadbent name, and he is a 50% partner in Dragon’s Hollow, the pioneering winery in China. Some of the famous brands imported by Broadbent include Quinta do Crasto, Chateau Musar and Spy Valley.
