About DomaineMeet the Team
Marc Lazar
As Domaine’s founder, I’m honored to work alongside some of the best minds in the wine industry. Without our team, we never could have built a company focused on the needs of wine collectors worldwide. As we continue to grow, I’m excited to discover new lines of business and forge new partnerships while strengthening client relationships.
Katherine Lazar
I am humbled and grateful to serve wine collectors with such an incredible team. In addition to guiding the long-term mission and strategy of Domaine, I’m focused on supporting our team members and highlighting their superpowers in roles that allow them to shine.
Drew Paquin
I’m a hospitality and wine retail veteran who joined Domaine in 2012 at our DC location. Since then, it’s been an amazing experience to work with our team and watch their growth alongside that of the company. I believe success in operations is dependent upon focus and efficiency, and I strive to lead by example every day.

I’m fortunate to draw upon over 30 years of experience in public accounting, the restaurant business, IT contracting, and working here at Domaine. Every day, I enjoy wearing multiple hats to serve our investors, team members, clients and outside vendors. Alongside the rest of our leadership team, I promote a culture where working hard and smart can be fun and financially rewarding.

From signing on new business to writing proposals to communicating with customers, I love meeting new people, hearing about their wine collections and welcoming them to our Domaine family. At Domaine, we are a team of people who understand wine and the passion that comes along with each client interaction, stored wine collection and aspect of business development.
Chris Zago
A passion for wine and service has led me to engage and build relationships with collectors so I can best serve them on their wine collecting journey. I strive to solve our collector’s problems, execute challenging projects and exceed their expectations and overall wine experiences throughout the Midwest and beyond.
Matthew Graham
After working in the wine and spirits industry for many years, there is no place like Domaine. We are the experts in storing, selling and transporting fine wines across the country, and it shines in our dedication to being the Wine Person’s Wine People. Through my work in business development, I get to work directly with our clients and gain a better understanding of their love for wine, further enabling our team to help them in each stage of their wine collecting process.
Olie Berlic
I have over 30 years of experience working in fine and rare wines as a former award-winning, competitive NYC sommelier, licensed importer, and International Spirits Judge. My time in the industry allows me to assist collectors in organizing their wines for drinking, storing, and selling. In addition to wine, I’ve acted as a lead educator on whiskies and a master blender for Brazilian spirits.

As a 22 year veteran of the wine industry, I enjoy being able to work directly with our cellar trading clients and help them address their needs. I come to Domaine everyday doing something I love and have the opportunity to collaborate with a strong team that desires to create the ultimate client experience with every pour.
Andrew Traughber
For more than a decade I have worked with Domaine clients in every aspect of our services – honing collections through strategic liquidation; sourcing fine and rare wines; wine collection moves; unpacking, organizing and inventorying home cellars ranging from a few hundred bottles to 10,000+. I bring this range of experience, expertise and passion for wine into every new project I conduct in a client’s home.
Joe Quigle
I’m responsible for knowing every detail about every wine move. When you book your wine move with me, I’ll get to know you and your collection personally. Every day, I wake up excited to communicate with clients, colleagues, and vendors and successfully pick up and deliver wine across the country.
Aaron Cherny
From my past experiences starting my own wine label to advising wine businesses throughout California, I learned to appreciate wine from the way its vines are cultivated through the crafting in the winemaking process and finally to the client’s cellar. Each day, I enjoy coming up with a perfect customized solution to each of our client’s wine requests within Domaine’s state of the art environment.
Matthew De Grazia
There is something special about the people, the value, the culture and the brand that make Domaine truly innovative.

Each member of my team possesses a distinct passion and love of all-things wine, and we are committed to ensuring your wine is treated with meticulous care and attention within our walls every day.

It is my responsibility as the manager of Domaine St. Louis to ensure our client’s wine collections are stored, secured and transported safely within our facility. Our wide range of services monitored by our dedicated team of wine lovers provide our collectors with premium attention and care for their wine at any stage of their journey.
John Portillo
I strive to please our clients with the best possible customer service.
