SALINAS, CA — November 11, 2021 — Scheid Family Wines, based in Monterey County, California, is pleased to welcome Sylvia Bronson as its first Chief Marketing Officer. With over 14 years of experience as a global brand marketing leader and growth strategist with Fortune 500 corporations and early-stage start-ups, Bronson brings an extensive skill set in all aspects of marketing.
