RJR Importer & Distributor, operating as Tasters Wines, is raising funds to expand its distribution of boutique Spanish wines in the U.S. market, with a focus on Florida. The Miami-based company works directly with family-run wineries across Spain, selecting wines from diverse appellations and emphasizing quality and craftsmanship.

With a curated, client-centered approach, Tasters aims to bring underrepresented wines to American consumers who increasingly value authenticity and small-scale producers.

Since launching in 2017, the company has developed strong relationships with Spanish wineries and local Florida distributors. Recent growth has been driven by demand for unique wine experiences and the brand’s ability to connect with both retailers and consumers. Tasters has shown financial improvement through 2025 year-to-date results, with growing revenue, improving margins, and expanded assets. This offering is designed to build on that momentum by funding strategic investments that support scalability and visibility.
