	Joe Kluchinsky Wine Consultant I’ve been at Bassin’s since 1984, and I’m in charge of the Champagne and Burgundy programs. Everybody should be so lucky. My goal for each area is to bring in the best producers at the best possible price. As the great Addy Bassin used to say, “If you buy right you can sell right.” Contact me at jdk@bassins.com for any request you may have. I’ll be more than glad to help.
