About Legend Imports:
Jane Lopes and Jonathan Ross, a wife and husband team, are the co-founders of Legend Imports: a company devoted solely to importing Australian wine to the US. Jane and Jon started off their careers in the US in retail and hospitality, between them working at Eleven Madison Park, The Violet Hour, The Catbird Seat, Oceana, and others. Jane and Jon moved to Australia in 2017 to work at Attica and the Rockpool Group, respectively, and gained a quick appreciation for the wines of Australia—and how little exposure there was to them in the US. While in Australia, Jane and Jon both passed the master sommelier exam, Jane wrote her first book titled Vignette (a second book is in the works, co-authored by Jane and Jon, on Australian wine), and Jon started making wine under his own label: Micro Wines. Upon returning to the US in 2020, Jane and Jon launched Legend, and could not be more thrilled to be bringing the great wines (and stories) of Australia to a table near you.
