Producers
Introducing our winemakers, who bring Georgia’s vine to life.
The wine industry is a tightly knit ecosystem built on relationships.
We cut our teeth in this business on the distribution side. Introducing a little know wine region with unfamiliar, hard to pronounce grapes taught us a lot. We have a tremendous appreciation for the distributors and their sales teams and all the hard work that goes into servicing accounts.
Distributors
Shops are the gate keepers, the curators and the trend setters.
Through out our time working with wine directors and purchasing managers, we often reflected on how much power shops actually hold in the marketplace. The ones that connect with consumers, are able to harness that power and wield significant influence.
