OUR STORY

Cutting Edge Selections was born of the passion of one native Ohioan, Mark Maher. A native of Cincinnati, Mark moved west after college and developed a passion for wine while working for and running a number of acclaimed restaurants and hotels in the Rockies.

Mark decided to move home after returning to visit family and realizing that many of the smaller producers he knew and loved were not represented in Ohio and Kentucky. From this passion to bring great wine back to his home, Mark founded Cutting Edge Selections in 1993 with nothing more than an old van, a small garage to use as a warehouse and connections to a handful of talented boutique wineries.

What started with the passion of one person has grown over time into one of the leading  importer / distributors in the Midwest and one of the few locally owned wine purveyors remaining in Ohio and Kentucky.  Since Mark's untimely passing in 2016, this family-owned business has been led by his brother Steve Maher, himself a lifelong veteran of the hospitality and wine distribution industries.  With a team of dedicated employees who have always shared the passion and vision curated in our humble beginnings, Cutting Edge Selections continues to thrive by following the same principles laid out 30 years ago.

With a focus on supplying independent restaurants and retailers some of the finest wines from around the world, Cutting Edge has a portfolio that reflects some of the most important producers from over 20 countries and has always stayed true to its original roots; providing exceptional wines paired with unparalleled service and building lasting relationships with our producers and customers alike.
