Dreyfus, Ashby & Co.

Better yet, we love the w**e we sell. It is truly a pleasure to be able to represent producers you respect and whose w**es you enjoy! You don't have to work at Dreyfus to be our friend. Now headquartered on the 15th Floor of 630 Third Ave, in New York City, Dreyfus, Ashby was founded in London, England, well over half a century ago. The company's founder, Swiss born Michel Dreyfus, followed an uncle into the w**e business and became an almost legendary figure in the trade. From the outset, Dreyfus, Ashby devoted itself to dealing in superior w**es from renowned vineyards and estates. Slowly, but with unerring taste, the new w**e merchant began to acquire the right to represent one famed property after another. For a decade and a half the company prospered, until gathering war-clouds burst over Europe, effectively choking the w**e trade to a trickle. Invited to bring his expertise to the United States, Michel Dreyfus transferred his operation to New York. Following the end of World War II and with the resurgence of the w**e trade on the continent, Dreyfus, Ashby once again became a prime factor in the w**e-importing business. Dreyfus, Ashby was purchased by a major distiller in 1957 and operated as a separate division under the presidency of its founder, Mr. Dreyfus, who continued to develop its quality w**e business. During the 1960's Dreyfus Ashby evolved from a regional importer-wholesaler to a national importer selling its products to a network of w**e and spirit wholesalers throughout the country. With the retirement of Michel Dreyfus in the mid-seventies, the company strayed from its original philosophy, devoting some of its effort toward mass market w**es and spirits. In 1983, the current management, new at the time, restructured Dreyfus Ashby, redefined its objectives and reemphasized its original position as a supplier of high quality imported w**es and spirits. Two years later, in order to assure the continuation of the company's renascent fine w**e and spirit philosophy, a key Dreyfus supplier, the Joseph Drouhin firm, took financial control of Dreyfus Ashby. Joseph Drouhin is a highly reputed Burgundy w**e grower and négociant based in Beaune, France, and is wholly owned and controlled by Robert Drouhin and his immediate family.
