Lozach oversees all marketing and sales, including building the brand’s national distribution network.Serge resides in Pawtucket, Rhode Island with his wife Irene and enjoys spending time with his new granddaughter Ellie June. When not working Serge can be found roaming the woods in search of prey with his two Cairn Terriers, Hudson and Farouk.About Kopke Port WineKopke Port Wine (Portugal), est. 1638, is the oldest Port wine house. Located in the upper Douro DOC, a UNESCO Cultural World Heritage site since 2001, Kopke benefits from the imposing geography of the Douro Valley: the plunging valleys allow vines to be planted from altitudes of 1,900 feet on the upper ridges, down to 230 feet alongside the river, with immensely diverse terroirs. Kopke wines are sourced and produced in Quinta São Luiz, one of the most important estates in Douro region. This 300-acre estate has 220 acres planted to traditional Portuguese grape varieties, such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Cão. There are also small plots of Tinta Barroca and Souzão. Kopke is also opening a small inn, The Vine House, at Quinta São Luiz this coming July.Wine in Motion USAKopke Port WinesInstagram: @ kopke1638 Be sure to follow Slice of Wine on social media: LinkedInInstagramTikTokSlice of Wine is produced by Slice of Media, Inc.
