Name:  Denio

My name is Denio DeLaurentis but people like to call me "Den, Denny, Big Guy or Gumba " I am of Italian decent born in Yonkers, New York.
 

I am married with three kids and living in Connecticut. My hobbies are going to the gym , playing sports,  swimming, watching movies, beach, hiking with my family and of course, drinking wine.  I am also a die-hard N.Y. Ranger fan so I like to go down to Madison Square Garden and watch some games .
       

My passion for wine started when I was a kid.   I watched and helped my family make wine every year. My passion for wine became bigger and bigger to a point where I am now taking wine courses, including the Sommelier of America wine class in New York City.
      

Today, I am part of a team at a small boutique wine shop where I am introduced to hundreds of artisanal wines from around the world.  Salute!

  Name: Kevin

Hi wine enthusiasts, I'm Kevin Kingston, an avid lover of wine! I've enjoyed wine over my 20 year run in Corporate America. Through the 90's, I was a Wall Street stock broker.  Working as a broker at Prudential Securities, a VP at Paine Webber and as a Senior VP at Gruntal and Co.

Around 2001 I had enough of the ups and down of the markets -especially the last crunch in 2001 and I decided to go into business with my best friend Denio. We started buying buildings.

Denio is a builder and I would crunch the numbers. We had quite a run throughout the 2000's. At the top we had somewhere like 30 buildings from South Fl. all the way up to Ma.  We still have a few properties but we're enjoying the wine business so much that we have most of them on the market.

I look forward to searching out those hard to find boutique "cult" wines and talking about them and offering them in our shop – www.StationPlazaWine.com

If my decision making process repeats itself, the 2010's should be a hell of a year for wine!  Just think, 1990's – stock market, 2000's – real estate…

Cheers!
Kevin Kingston

Born in Southwest of France (Toulouse), I was raised on Bordeaux (left bank especially) discovered South of France wines (Languedoc-Roussillon, Rhone Valley and Provence) in my early twenties, and became passionate about Burgundy wines.

While finishing a PhD in Political Science, I met and fell in love with a Lebanese/American beauty followed her to the New World.

After working for UNICEF for a while I dropped everything and decided to do something I would really enjoy: working with wine. That was the beginning of a new adventure…
