Company History

In 1984, Aristides and Kathy Spiliotopoulos had the crazy idea to start up a wine importing and distribution company specializing in Greek wines.  Our first office-warehouse was a tiny space in Linden, NJ, from which Aristides ventured out to liquor stores and restaurants, armed with a few unknown wines from Patras and Nemea. In 1985, we expanded distribution into NY, and realized that we needed a serious brand in order to stay in business.  Our motto at that time was “Where else can you have so much fun for so little money!”  In 1986, we convinced the Kourtakis Winery to allow us to distribute their very popular and value priced wines in the two states. With a little success under our belts, we ventured out to expand distribution to other states, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Today, Nestor Imports, Inc. is the leading USA importer of Greek wines and spirits, with a nationwide network of nearly fifty distributors coast to coast.  We have United States federal permits to import and distribute all types of alcoholic beverages across the country, and have liquor licenses to directly distribute these products in New York State, and to sell wine and liquor to our distributors in the many states we cover.  We are exclusive US agent for Kourtakis winery, one of Greece’s largest, and often dubbed “the Gallo of Greece."  We are primary USA agent for Domaine Costa Lazaridi, Greece’s top winery as proclaimed and awarded in international competitions.  Nestor Imports is exclusive agent for Greece’s most popular ouzo, Ouzo Plomari by Issidoros Arvanitis, and for Haraki Cretan Tsikoudia, a favorite Greek grappa.  We also are sole representative for high quality boutique wineries including the Chrisohoou winery in Naoussa, the Oenoforos winery in Egion near Patras, and Dimitra Wines in Kalamata, Messinia, as well as Nama Byzantino, a favorite wine among the Greek Orthodox Clergy, and a comprehensive array of the finest wines and spirits from Cyprus.
