Gregory Moore, Owner

In 1996 Greg left Le Bec-Fin (after nearly twenty years as sommelier and General Manager) to open Moore Brothers Wine Company, a retail wine shop in Pennsauken, New Jersey, that sells hand-picked, small-farm wines from some of the finest producers in the world. Of special interest is that every Moore Brothers wine is "sourced" in a direct, personal relationship with the farmer-grower who made it, and is shipped and stored in perfect conditions of temperature control. Most sell for less than fifteen dollars per bottle.

In 1999 Greg opened his second Moore Brothers store, located in the Trolley Square section of Wilmington, Delaware. Food and Wine Magazine named it "Best New Wine Shop in America", in 2001. A third Moore Brothers store, with a mezzanine floor dedicated to wine classes and special events, opened at 33 East 20th Street (across the street from Gramercy Tavern) in New York in May of 2006.

Greg's first book, The Wine Chronicles - Writing Your Own Fine Wine Book, was published by Running Press in 2002.

John Masino, Manager

After working twenty years in warm, large selection wine stores, John now manages the characters and wines at Moore Brothers Delaware. John grew up in Wilmington and now lives in Newark, Delaware with his wife, Margie, and two sons, Jack 19, and Ben 13. The two boys are both learning French and enjoy cooking with dad. When John is not at Moore Brothers he is usually coordinating wine tours to Italy and France, or visiting his brother Tom and his wife Elaine, who grow grapes in Sonoma Valley, California.

Eric T., Wine Sales

I grew up in white tablecloth French restaurants and learned about wine at an early age. Even when my weekly food, wine, and beer budget during the lean college years didn't exceed $50, I still insisted on cork finished 750s and bottled beer. I could afford European country wines and fell in love with them. Back then wines from Corbieres, Coteaux du Tricastin, and Puglia were well under $4 a bottle. Today they cost a bit more, but I still prefer them over any other because they're real (and really good). I steadfastly recommend the hand-made, small-farm wines I sell today. You may not be familiar with them, but they are all originals. And they remind me of my simpler days. Professional memberships: Chevalier de Chezelet, 2004

JoeDi, Wine Sales

Born and raised in a tempestuous South Philadelphia "ghetto", Joseph grew up in a bilingual atmosphere where English and Italian competed for attention. Exposed to wine at an early age, Joseph had to set aside the more serious side of this interest while his mother expounded the glories of Italian language and culture. Accordingly, he went on to study French, Italian, classical Latin and Greek while doing his undergraduate work at St. Joseph's, obtaining an M.A. at Temple, finally earning a Ph.D. in French literature at Rutgers University after nearly alienating all of his friends and family. He continues to enjoy teaching but prefers to wet his whistle while he works at Moore Brothers. An unabashed apologist for Italian wine, he will nevertheless be happy to recommend a French wine to all but the most Francophilic of customers.
