Joshua Adler

Josh learned about wine the old-fashioned way - tasting Pinot Noir in 18th-century cellars in Burgundy’s Côte d’Or. After a stint leading bicycle tours in French wine regions, he worked as the wine director at Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco and Restaurant Spring in Paris before starting Paris Wine Company in 2012. After bravely battling pancreatic cancer for seven months, Josh passed away on 25 February 2022 in his beloved city of Paris. The Paris Wine Company team misses him greatly and is dedicated to carrying on his legacy in everything that they do. For a beautiful memory, you can listen here to Levi Dalton’s 2014 interview with Josh for his podcast, I’ll Drink to That, Episode #193.

Francesca Hansen

Francesca first got the wine bug after a gruelling hike through Cahors somehow ended up at a winery. She initially moved to Paris to finish a B.A/M.A. in Political Science from Johns Hopkins and Sciences Po, and has lived in Paris for over 10 years. She joined Paris Wine Company in early 2014. Her ideal last meal would be white Burgundy and mac n’cheese.

Ryan Lim

After New York and Seoul, Ryan studied anthropology at Northwestern University, and culinary arts at Ferrandi Paris. Before joining the team, he spent a few years as a cook at Restaurant L'Arpège and Restaurant Garance. Ryan's a firm believer that a daily dose of Gamay cures all, heals all.

Catherine Haas Adler

Catherine learned about good French wine following the adventures of her American husband and founder of Paris Wine Company, Joshua Adler. Although trained in architecture in Germany where she was born, she’s very proud of her French roots from the Champagne region and will never refuse a glass of bubbly.

Chris Massol

Chris spent 10 years working in international logistics in New York and Amsterdam. He returned to his hometown of Paris to follow his passion for wine, where he joined Paris Wine Company as Operations Manager. When not at the office, Chris likes to spend time with his family in the Loire Valley, where he can relax with a glass of sparkling Vouvray!

Sean Cleary

Moving all the way from Sydney, Australia, Sean has been working in the Paris food and wine scene since 2013. Whether in the kitchen or behind the bar, Sean’s love for French wine started after managing an oenology class at a French cooking school. As seen in his photo, Sean will never turn down a glass of tasty Gamay. 

Patrick Eid

Patrick joined Paris Wine Company in 2022 after cultivating a taste for wine (and the diversity of their regional and stylistic differences) after working in bars, restaurants, and wine shops in various countries before moving to Paris with his family in 2018. On quiet evenings, he enjoys meticulously pairing wines with novels and poetry - with mixed results.

Gregory Slater

After growing up on a vineyard in the Willamette Valley, Gregory spent a semester of college in Paris where he fell in love with the French “joie de vivre”. After ski bumming in Oregon and Utah, he got a job at Alexana Winery, then moved to Montana to sell wine. Now finishing a Masters in Wine & Spirits Management from Kedge BS Bordeaux, Gregory’s ultimate wine & food pairing is green enchiladas and a high-acid, off-dry, aromatic Riesling with some age.

Vicki Denig

After working for a French company in New York, Vicki transitioned into the world of wine retail and journalism, which eventually led her down a rabbit hole of wine-focused content creation, marketing, and social media management. She splits her time between New York and Paris, frequently rides bikes that go nowhere at SoulCycle/Dynamo, and firmly believes that there's nothing a good bottle of bubbles can't fix.
