We are Entre Amis, a French wine import company. The name means “among friends,” which reflects both how our company was born and how we believe these wines are best enjoyed. More than just bringing bottles across the ocean, our goal is to restore a sense of curation, highlighting a new generation of French vignerons whose voices are shaping conversations at restaurants, in wine shops, and around the dinner table.

Entre Amis was founded by close friends with deep roots in food and wine: Jonathan Lazar, who runs Amuninni Vini, now one of New York’s leading importers of natural Italian wine; Clément Besset of Fradei and Entre Nous in Brooklyn; Jay Strell, whose extraordinary PR experience and global connections in food, wine, and hospitality give our work a unique reach; and the late Justin Chearno of The Four Horsemen. What unites us is the belief that the grower takes center stage, and that what binds it all together is the wine itself and the people behind it.

We work directly with these producers and place their wines thoughtfully with restaurants and shops, in quantities and at price points that make sense. The result is a portfolio that feels personal and alive, wines that carry the imprint of the land and the hand that made them, meant to be opened, poured, and shared among friends.
