Legend has it that a great vintage is often heralded by the passage of a comet. This was the case in 1630 and again in 1811, which is the year alluded to when people speak of the “vin de la comète”.*
Comète Wines, a wine importer and wholesaler, is owned by Jim and Jane Reeves of Silver Spring, Maryland. Our purpose is to import unique wines of character and high quality from France, with emphasis on the Burgundy region.
Our wines are carefully selected by Jean-Michel Garnier, a longtime resident of Burgundy and an expert in wines of the region. It is for this reason that our wines bear the ‘Jean-Michel Garnier Selection’ brand.
