About Us

Exceptional Wines  is a division of Foreign Commerce Wholesalers, LLC of McAllen, Texas, a proud family-owned and operated company.

We only include exceptional wines in our catalog; we tasted them and have a first hand knowledge of the producer and its process.  We took our selection based on our personal opinion and first-palate tasting. We took in consideration the awards, honors, and medals won in the country of production. We completely ignore the numerical scores of wines and favorable articles published outside the country of production, since they only consider some of the wines that are actually imported to the specific country.

Exceptional Wines preserves the integrity and complexity of the wines, storing the wines under the proper temperature, humidity, eliminating natural light and vibration for perfect cellarage. And transport the wine in refrigerated containers.

The company founder, Emilio D. Santos blended and combined over 30 years of Alcohol and Tobacco International Taxation and Trade practice experience with more than 20 years of collecting fine wines for his personal cellar. He usually travels to personally meet the winemakers.

Emilio D. Santos was licensed as a Certified Public Accountant, in and earned a Master of Laws in Taxation, He taught Tax and Corporate Law as a University Professor.
