Raised in Paris, France, Arié came to Boston in the US in 1993 and has been there ever since. With a lengthy career in the financial services industry, Arié decided in 2011 to plunge into the world of wine and winemaking with his wife Beth Ann and business partner Max Risman. What better place to do it than in the far-flung beautiful country of New Zealand!
While creating financial spreadsheets might seem like a far cry from viticulture and winemaking, Arié has thrown himself into Vela Wines with all the passion and precision that it takes to make the best possible wines and make Vela a successful venture in New Zealand and abroad.
