Patrick Walsh, founder of Provence Wine Imports Inc. was raised and educated in the French way of life. Growing up in the winemaking region of Provence, wine culture, knowledge and consumption have been and continue to be part of his daily life in France.
With a dual US-French citizenship, born in Boston, MA and having lived his youth in Aix-en-Provence, Patrick has the overview and benefits from the very way the American market functions but thinks it’s important to discover and preserve a French harmony through its flagship product and one of the pillars of its economy: wine.
