MEET NIA RUTH
Great wine is hard to find, between the endless choices, the complicated labels, and the “insider” lingo used to describe each bottle.
That’s why I created Few & Far, a wine club and shop that simplifies it all and delivers curated boutique wines from the best vineyards around the world to your doorstep, provides curated wines for events, makes for the perfect gift for any occasion, and more. Each of our wines is produced using low-intervention winemaking techniques by a small producer, and each bottle of wine has a story to tell!
“But my path to creating Few & Far was anything but linear.”
I started my career as a psychologist, getting my PhD at NYU and working for several years consulting in the social welfare space. During that time I’d fallen completely in love with wine, and could no longer deny my desire to know, love, and sip more of it.
It was a whirlwind from there: I took my first introductory wine course at San Diego State University in 2018, and have since completed my WSET levels 2 and 3, started blogging about wine, became the wine columnist at San Diego Magazine, and traveled far and wide visiting vineyards and trying some of the world’s most delicious wines throughout Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, South Africa, Morocco, Croatia, Israel, Mexico, and across the U.S.
As I learned more about wine, I learned the value of small production wine and how difficult boutique wines are to identify and access. In late 2021, I took the plunge, left my corporate job, and began working on Few & Far full-time so that I could bridge that gap and bring delicious small-batch wines directly to wine lovers’ doorsteps all across the country.
It’s been the best decision I’ve ever made!
