BANVILLE & JONES WINE CO.
The Cave
PEOPLE Banville & Jones has 20 full time staff that know wine and customer service. We have five certified Sommeliers, many Certified Specialists of Wine and many more experts on staff to help find the perfect wine for sipping, pairing with any dinner, or placing in your cellar to enjoy for years to come.
PRODUCTS Banville & Jones has more than 2,000 different wines from around the world. Our wine experts buy the best wines available around the globe. They search every corner to bring you the very best quality for price. We call that QPR: quality-price ratio. It is not uncommon for our experts to attend a trade show and taste 400 wines only to decide that only a few are good enough to import. That means that the end consumer is the winner!
PROGRAMS Banville & Jones helps to build world-class wine collections with programs such as the Cellar Starter, which gives priority access to highly allocated wines from around the world. The Wines of Distinction Program is an email-based program that features special pre-sale offers on rare and cellar-worthy wines.

The retail floor is organized by country, with special sections such as Best Bets, Gifts, Specialty Foods, and The Cave.

We give special mention to these producers and their wines because we believe they are making a difference in our world.
