TIMO GEIS, FOUNDER
Born in France and raised in Sedona, Arizona, Timo spent most of his childhood and adolescence traveling between France and the United States. After high school, Timo had the opportunity to travel around the world to explore new cultures and himself before committing to a college education. Among countless adventures, he found himself living in the south of Spain for a year. Upon returning to the US, while diving into his studies at a university, Timo worked at high-end farm-to-table restaurants to make ends meet, where he quickly developed a passion for wine and gastronomy. Before long, Timo finished his Bachelor’s degree and passed the CMS Certified Sommelier Exam. Inspired to reconnect with his roots, Timo decided to return to France to figure out his next step. He took on a viticulture and vinification internship during les vendanges at a family-owned organic winery in Alsace, which helped him realize he wanted to work with good people making good wine. Selection Sauvage was born when the idea of combining a love for wine and a love for adventure came to him.
