Celerier’s cellar story
Matthieu and Maggie are a French-American couple who met in Paris. They both grew up in families in which beverage and cooking were central as both a family time and a time to share, socialize and enjoy life. Maggie was born in Easton, PA of a Lebanese father and Italian mother, and her family operated a beer distribution for 3 generations, based in Allentown, PA. Matthieu Celerier was born in Bordeaux, France, and raised on the left bank close to the famous estate of Chateau Haut-Brion (Pessac Leognan), spending his youth between the Graves and the Medoc, along with family members and friends who worked in famous Chateaux and starting to learn how to pair wine with food as it was a natural routine in his family. After having respectively worked in the sport and fashion fields, Matthieu advised Maggie to start her own import and distribution of wine as she was talking into becoming an agent for the vintners they knew. They moved to the United States and naturally decided to work together and create Cellerier's Cellar.
