Marquee Artisan Wines

General Manager Christopher J. Cribb, CSW, has worked for Multi Service Corporation for over ten years and helped found Marquee Artisan Wines in 2002. Christopher began his career as an intern at MSC, establishing a business office in Lisbon, Portugal, and moved into project management, implementing multiple successful credit card and eCommerce programs. In 2000 Christopher began leading the eCommerce division of Multi Service and thereafter was promoted to the lead role of a new MSC division, Special Projects. He began his career in the wine world in 2002, helping to establish the exportation and importation business units of MS Australia PTY LTD and Marquee Artisan Wines. As the business development manager for Marquee, Christopher created the infrastructure for Marquee from scratch. In late 2004, Christopher, now fully bitten by the wine "bug," moved entirely out of the Special Projects division to concentrate entirely on Marquee in the role of General Manager. Establishing a strategic plan, repositioning and re-branding the Marquee product line, and creating a full export infrastructure for the Australian operations have been accomplished in this latest year under Chris's leadership. Christopher received a degree in International Business from Park University and has an accomplished eCommerce, IT, and business development background that has proved invaluable in his wine industry career. Recently recognized as a CWS (Certified Wine Specialist) by the Society of Wine Educators, Christopher loves international travel and has a very strong background in both Australian and American wine regions. A year abroad living in Nice, France, during university helped to spark his international interest and fueled his passion for vino. Currently Chris enjoys exploring the red blends coming from Washington, USA, has a love for Barolo and Amarone, and finds himself drawn back to areas of the world experimenting with Grenache and Mourvédre blends. A love of sports, entrepreneurial business, and good friends make Christopher a unique and enthusiastic leader for Marquee Artisan Wines.
