Serge moved to New York in 1993. During his early years in Manhattan, he became friends with several of the most innovative chefs, such as Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who were able to influence not only Serge’s palate, but the way he selects his wines as well. His relationships with vintners and restaurateurs along with his expertise and love for wine led him to found his own business, Serge Doré Selections, in 1996.
