Rodolphe Boulanger is the president of The Wine Messenger, a
leading catalog and internet wine retailer focused on wines from small
producers. Boulanger grew up around wine thanks to his French father and
wine-collecting American grandfather. He loves how wine combines so many of his
passions: history, trade, agriculture, biochemistry, culture, cuisine, and even
art.
Boulanger has spent most of the last decade working in the import, distribution
and retail of European wines in New York City and beyond. He earned a
bachelor's degree in biochemistry from Swarthmore College, an MBA from Columbia
Business School and conducted research at the Plant Science Institute at the
University of Pennsylvania. He holds Certified Specialist in Wine (CSW) and
Certified Specialist in Spirits (CSS) certificates from the Society of Wine
Educators, French Wine Scholar (FWS) from the French Wine Society and achieved
his WSET Diploma in Wine & Spirits in 2009.
Boulanger has traveled extensively to all the major wine regions of France,
Italy and California. He also enjoys regular visits behind the bar to apply his
amateur mixology skills.
