    DISCUSSANT

    TED DIAMANTIS

    Ted Diamantis is a first-generation Greek-American, born and raised in Lincoln Park. He pioneered in the importation and education of Greek wines and viticulture in the US.

    In 1992, Ted Diamantis created Diamond Wine Importers out of the belief that Greece, with its natural terroir of mountain vineyards, maritime influenced climate, volcanic and alluvial soils, and over 200 ancient indigenous varieties, can once again become a source of some of the greatest wines in the world. The company’s wines are now distributed in 46 states. Over the last 30 years of tasting and traveling throughout Greece, Mr. Diamantis compiled a portfolio of the best artisan, vineyard-driven producers who are working with the best native varietals from the best appellations. Diamond Wine Importers only focus on producers and growers who are fully committed to quality and sustainability from vine to bottle. These producers are people that have passion, are self-made men, work with the land, and embody the true winemaking spirit. The company’s goal is to now educate and enlighten the American wine market about these indigenous varietals, ancient appellations, and, most importantly, the spirit of these outstanding producers.
