LEO
FOX		 Leo B. Fox, is the founder and Managing Director of World Shippers & Importers Co, of Philadelphia. A Pennsylvania native, Leo trained at Carnegie-Mellon in Pittsburgh and the University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School. After his MBA and a stint as a marketing consultant, he toured Europe and became enamored with the wine business. Without any experience in the field, he formed his own company to import wines. Starting as a one man operation, he sold wines to restaurants in Philadelphia and ultimately connected with an out of state distributor who ordered the first truckload!

Today, World Shippers & Importers Co. specializes in importing limited production European wines which are sold on a national basis. Port wines have always played an important part in the portfolio. A frequent lecturer and presenter at wine tastings, Mr. Fox was one of the first Americans to be inducted into the prestigious Confraria do Vinho do Porto. Leo may be contacted at wshippers@aol.com.

*****

As a small neighborhood establishment, it is hard to find answers that are about me. Each time I read RR, I find that much of it is about subjects that effect me, the small guy. I am impressed that somehow we seem to be on the same level, and have the same concerns.

Al Schwartz, Bistro al Vino

*****

Just want to thank you for an excellent publication. I send it to everyone I know in the business. I will soon be a restaurant owner and I can't tell you how invaluable your newsletter has been. Keep up the good work.

Sincerely -- Jason Newsom, Big Daddy's Grill at River Park Marina
