Montesquieu is located on Culver Boulevard, at the corner of Lafayette Place, in a Spanish-style office building. The company, started in 1991, is an upscale wine distributor. Its headquarters are in San Diego, but this location contains a sales office. Montesquieu focuses primarily on the distribution of wines from boutique wineries, most of them family-owned and organically farmed. The majority of the company's clients are not retailers but rather individual wine lovers.
