Aabalat was founded in 1995 to focus on selling fine and rare Bordeaux and Burgundy wine to enthusiasts and collectors.  Based in Petaluma, CA, Aabalat maintains a temperature and humidity controlled warehouse and a staff of experienced wine professionals.  We inspect every bottle of wine we sell to ensure our customers receive a quality product.  The current owners of Aabalat, Bob and Karen Orlandi, owe a lot of their success to the company's predecessor, Rick Sajbel, whose passion for rare French wine and connections to industry professionals has remained in tact throughout the years and has fueled the growth of the business.

Aabalat is unique from many of our competitors because we have been able to secure ABC licenses that allow us to import, export, wholesale, and retail wines to our customers, thus providing the best possible prices, breadth of inventory, and leadtimes.  Our staff, which has a reputation for being helpful and professional, is more knowledgeable than other retailers due to our strong focus on rare wines.

Aabalat distributes through internet and phone sales.  You can find our products listed on our website (www.aabalat.com), on a number of wine search engines, and our eBay store.  However, given the uniqueness of the bottles we sell, many of our customers call us directly to inquire about a particular bottle.  Even if we don't have the bottle in our physical inventory, our wide network of suppliers allows us to locate rare bottles in a short time period.
