Martin-Sebastian Abel

Founder, Certified American Wine Expert and Assistant Sommelier

Hi, I’m Marty. A warm welcome to americanwine.club. I’m glad you’re here!

If you love discovering great wines and the stories of the people behind them, you’re in the right place. I started americanwine.club to bring some of America’s hidden gems to Europe, focusing on small, sustainable, family-owned wineries.

My journey began on a weekend trip to Napa during a fellowship, where I fell in love with California reds. Later, while working in Upstate NY, in the Finger Lakes, I discovered the crisp Rieslings and Pinots crafted by passionate winemakers. Today, as a certified American Wine Expert, I hand-select bottles that reflect the best of these regions.

Every wine we feature is one I’ve tasted, vetted, and chosen to share with you — always authentic, always from the heart of America’s vineyards.
