Behind the Label
Best Case Wines serves as a link between the people who grow & make these authentic wines and YOU, the people who enjoy them. Here is a little something about who WE are.
FOUNDER & OWNER
Robert Morey
After more than 15 years in wine retail, Robert started Best Case Wines in 2011. Something of a luddite, Robert sees wine as an antidote, or at least a counterbalance, to a too-fast, too-fraught, too-teched world. Wine cannot be enjoyed in a hurry, and it is most fully enjoyed with good food among good company. Robert’s other interests include cooking & eating food, reading, spending time with family, and trying to improve his French.
DEPUTY
Andrew McLaughlin
Andrew first became interested in wine while working for a gourmet grocery during his university years. After graduating, his passion for food, wine, and their intersection transformed to a career path. Against the common misperception that good wines have to be expensive, Andrew seeks wines that interested people can both love and afford. “Wine doesn’t have to be complicated,” he says. “It’s a perfect companion to a meal, or a pleasure on its own, or an encapsulation of a faraway region’s history & culture.” Andrew’s other interests include trying new foods, learning about world history & culture, and spending time with family, friends, and dog, Murphy.
Central Iowa Sales Representative
Heather Schwartz
Heather’s wine journey started after working retail in Hy-Vee’s Wine and Spirits department. In 2014, she found her forever home in selling wine.
Wine sales has been more than a career path, It’s been an enjoyable hobby. Going to new restaurants and stores, building new relationships. Learning about each wine and their story and sharing those stories with accounts, friends, and family.
Heather’s other interests include spending time with family and friends. Going anywhere with live music, and going country line dancing.
“Wine is like dance, it matures with every performance”
