Joseph J. Magliocco (born October 14, 1957), also referred to as Joseph Magliocco or Joe Magliocco, is a wine and spirits industry executive who has developed creative and newsworthy wine and spirits products. His work has been written about in publications like Financial Times, Food & Wine, Fortune, GQ, Maxim, New York Magazine, Robb Report, The Chicago Tribune, The Courier-Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Oakland Tribune, The San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Wine Enthusiast, and other notable publications.[1][2][3][4]
Education
After going to Berkeley and Poly Prep in New York City for grammar and high school, Magliocco matriculated at Yale College. After graduating from Yale in the spring of 1979,[5] Magliocco studied law and in 1982 received a degree from Harvard Law School.[6]
Career
After his admission to the New York State Bar in 1983,[7] Magliocco began a career in the wine and spirits industry. Over the course of his career, he has formed wine project joint ventures in France, Spain, Argentina, Italy, and Australia.[citation needed] Magliocco was cited for his contributions to the Bordeaux wine business in 1999 when he was inducted as a Commandeur de L’Ordre du Bontemps de Medoc et de Graves.[citation needed]
During his years as President of Manhattan based Chatham Imports, Magliocco has developed a variety of spirits products such as Baojing Bai Jiu from the People's Republic of China,[citation needed] Crop Organic Vodkas from the U.S., Farmer’s Botanical Organic Gin from the U.S.,[citation needed] Faretti Liquers from Italy,[citation needed] and Marti Autentico Cuban-Style Rum from the West Indies.[citation needed] In fact the Crop brand featured some of America's first organic spirits as well as the country's first Cucumber Vodka.[citation needed]
In the 1990s with "brown" spirits in decline and rye, America's first whiskey, on the verge of extinction,[8] Magliocco teamed up with former Austin Nichols president Dick Newman [9] to resurrect Michter's, a whiskey brand that traces its legacy back to America's first whiskey company.[10] Since that time, Michter's has garnered much critical praise while leading the American revival of Rye whiskey. [citation needed]
