For Surecave CEO Louis Baugier, data is key to startup success

Growing up, Louis Baugier was influenced by his father’s business, which was not real estate, per se, though it was certainly in dirt.

Hs dad, Patrick, grew up in a grape-growing family in French wine country. The elder Baugier came to the New York in 1988 to establish MetroWine, an American distribution hub for his family’s centuries-old Bordeaux. That entrepreneurial spirit inspired the younger Baugier to strike out on his own, too.
