the brokers.

We've had a curiosity and passion for wine throughout our adult lives; and are thrilled to culminate our various studies, travels, experiences, and community of winemaker friends into Vin 7000. Ignited by the mountain town of Park City, Utah, our purpose is to connect the wines we love with the restaurants and wine enthusiasts we enjoy.

Maggie Heile, CSW

Maggie is our head wine explorer. After taking "early retirement" from the corporate world, she became addicted to formal wine education, earning her Certified Specialist of Wine (CSW), WSET 2 and Intro Sommelier certifications - with more on the way...

Since 2018, Maggie has had the privilege of working harvest at Natalie's Estate Winery. This experience first sparked the idea for a new wine brokerage in Utah; representing small, family wineries and sharing their wines and stories.

Craig Heile

Growing up in an Italian family, Craig gained an appreciation for good food and wine at an early age. He continued learning about, and experiencing, the magic of food and wine pairings through extensive global travel and living in Northern California for a number of years.

With a high level of culinary talent, and strong taste acuity, Craig is our master of food and wine pairings. He considers a bottle of wine "the art of the impossible", each time opening up a new experience and learning opportunity for himself and others.
