He is the founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Vinous for which he is also the lead critic covering the wines of Bordeaux, California, Italy, and Champagne.
Galloni returned to the United States to acquire a formal business education, where he earned an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management.
Galloni turned down an offer to write for Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate to work for a brief stint at Deutsche Bank in New York City.
He developed tailored public events & seminars such as the highly-anticipated “La Festa del Barolo,” vertical tastings focused on the benchmark wines of Italy, and numerous charity dinners.
In March 2013, it was reported that The Wine Advocate had filed a federal lawsuit against Galloni five weeks after his departure for breach of contract, fraud and defamation.
[17] According to Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate’s efforts were “simply a matter of retrieving a service we paid for,” rather than “an attempt to stop Antonio from moving on; we continue to wish him our very best.”
