In Support of Ukraine:
Every Case Counts Relief Aid Campaign
Serendipity Imports has partnered with Alex and Helen Biba, the family behind Viticcio winery since 2015, to generate direct relief for their home communities in the Ukraine. On behalf of the Biba family, we are launching a nation-wide effort with our partners to raise relief aid for their organization of choice: The UOC for Family Affairs. Serendipity Imports will donate $10 for each case of Viticcio Wine purchased with a goal of raising $25,000 (2,500 cases). Please join us in supporting this effort. For ways you can help make an impact, further details, and relief updates click HERE.
A generous thank you to our partners across Texas and California that have aided in our efforts so far!

Welcome Nicolas to Houston Sales!
Q: Where are you from & what brought you to the wine industry?
A: I am a native Texan who discovered a love of wine while living abroad in The Netherlands. My husband and I drove to the Mosel in Germany one weekend and that’s when I had my first “aha” moment with wine… I was hooked. We moved back to Texas in 2016, and that’s when I entered this industry with HEB as a buyer.
Q: What is your new favorite wine in our book?
A: While there are many wines in our book that I love, the wine I will be crushing by the pool this summer is Cave de Turckheim Pinot Blanc.
Q: What do you like to do when you’re not working?
A: Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, and my dogs, and I never pass up an opportunity to have a great dinner at one of the many eclectic restaurants here in Houston.
