Asimos answered a number of thought-provoking questions during the interview. For example, when asked how he got into the wine industry, he recalled how working at an Italian restaurant during college taught him about wines and how certain varieties pair better with certain foods.

“From there I just went down the rabbit hole learning all I could about wines and where they come from,” he said, adding that while some people are obsessed with hobbies like birding, he is fascinated with wines.

“There’s so much to learn, even now. The industry continues to expand and surprise me every day.”

Having a good understanding of wine and knowing what his customers really enjoy helps Asimos in his day-to-day work as an importer and exporter, he said.

“My time in the service industry during college really prepared me for exceeding my clients’ demands by offering something new and interesting that I think they will like,” he said.

“You have to get to know each client very well and deepen the relationships with them. I would not be where I am today without learning how to service customers in a restaurant years ago.”

As for how he keeps himself motivated, for Asimos, the answer is simple.

“I enjoy what I do so it’s easy for me to stay motivated,” he said.

To further inspire his love of wine, Asimos said he loves visiting wineries around the world to learn about other people’s interests and passions for wine. His favorite wineries to visit include Bodegas Ysios in Spain and the Chateau Pichon-Lalande in France which he described as his personal “Holy Grail of wine.”

While he is hesitant to brag about his success in the wine industry, Asimos said he is pleasantly surprised by how well his wine company is doing.

“It still remains a small operation servicing lifelong friends and customers around the world,” he said.
