Luckily, Nikki doesn't have to spell Lutomske very often.
About us
Friends Doing Business with Friends
Dear Winemaker, Distiller, Brewer or Owner:
New World Winery Equipment, LLC, AKA ENOTOOLS.COM, began bringing the best brands of all inputs to commercial-scale wine manufacturing to market in 2004. Since then, we've been getting to know our friends in brewing and distilling, too!
Our approach to business is basically "friends doing business with friends" while participating in your success.
In most cases, we are the exclusive Eastern/Central Territory Sales and Service entity for the brands that we carry.
From crush equipment to packaging, we use our relationships with our manufacturers and importers to bring you the solutions you need. We are trained by our manufacturers to extend to you the same excellence that you would get from them if they were right next door. Through us, you will pay the same price as you would through the manufacturer.
We add value to the manufacturer's prices daily with support, sometimes a bit too much honesty, and a passion for the beverage industry. Please feel comfortable asking for help. Let us help you find the tools you need.
From our family to yours, thank you for trusting us with what you have worked so hard to build.

Joe's bio
From the Finger Lakes to Springfield
Growing up in Watkins Glen, NY, Joe was surrounded by the children of winemakers, wine magazine publishers and grape growers, and he is very proud to be originally from the beautiful Finger Lakes Wine Region. He placed a leisurely 48th in the middle of a class of about 100 kids in 1987, the same summer he landed his first wine industry job in the tasting room at Glenora Wine Cellars.
After visiting a couple of colleges, he served in a Communications Squadron in the United States Air Force. Once out of the military, he completed college and became a financial advisor who never forgot about the wine industry, doing business along the way with a handful of the "Who's Who" in the Eastern wine business. Managing advertising sales at Vineyard & Winery Management in Sonoma County was a great way to meet and understand the manufacturers who contribute so much to the beverage industry, and it was the impetus for starting the company you see here.
Starting New World Winery Equipment, LLC / ENOTOOLS.COM in 2003 was his way of finding a place in an industry we all love. In 2004, he married Nikki Holden and moved to Springfield, Missouri, to run ENOTOOLS.COM from a central location.
