SEATTLE — October 13, 2015 — DrinkSpace announced today it has signed an agreement with Alta Napa Valley Winery in Napa, Calif. The Washington-based agency for boutique alcohol beverage producers was founded by Thomas Vogele, formerly of Michael Mondavi’s FOLIO Fine Wine Partners, and marketing/advertising veteran Steve Reed. DrinkSpace provides much needed sales and marketing expertise to producers, helping them navigate the myriad hurdles small wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries encounter in the U.S. alcohol beverage industry.
“Our goal is to provide vital sales and marketing direction and a voice for the small to mid-sized producers that they just don’t have right now,” said Vogele. “We are thrilled to add another high quality California producer to our portfolio. Alta Napa Valley is a fantastic family owned winery that also happens to make some of Napa’s best wines from Atlas Peak.”
“Our relationships allow producers to take the daily marketing tasks off of their plates, affording them the freedom to focus on brand strategy and growing their business,” said Reed.
Alta Napa Valley Winery is a small family winery that is owned and operated by Fred Oliai. Oliai first laid eyes on the 90+ acre property where the winery now sits in 2008. He knew instantly the land had the potential to produce some of Napa’s best Cabernet Sauvignon. Atlas Peak yields some of the best fruit in the valley, and Fred barreled his first harvest of Cabernet Sauvignon in 2009, releasing the debut wine in Fall 2011. Alta Napa Valley focuses their energy on Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc.
“We are excited to be working with DrinkSpace,” said Oliai. “We look forward to taking our wines and our brands to the next level with their partnership and expertise.”
