Share a Splash Wine Co. Announces Senior Sales Leadership Appointments Under New CEO

February 4, 2026 (Healdsburg, CA) — SHARE A SPLASH wine co. is expanding its sales organization under Chief Executive Officer Erle Martin, announcing today the appointment of three senior sales leaders to support the company’s continued growth strategy. The appointments include Tim Colgan, Vice President of Sales – Western Region; Kelly Elder, Vice President of Sales – Southern Region; and Don Henderson, Executive Vice President of Sales – Southeastern Region.

“These appointments are a direct reflection of our vision for growth and our commitment to building a best-in-class organization,” said Martin. “Tim, Kelly, and Don bring deep industry expertise, proven leadership, and strong alignment with our distributor-first philosophy. I am confident that under their leadership, we will reach new heights, and I look forward to working alongside this talented team as we unlock the next phase of growth for SHARE A SPLASH.”

Based on 2025 domestic sales depletion data, SHARE A SPLASH continues to outperform the broader wine category, driven by strong performance across its portfolio of flagship brands and top-selling SKUs. The Angels & Cowboys brand delivered +7.5% growth in depletions, led by its rosé, which rose +11% and now ranks as the #1 domestic 750ml rosé in the $13–$16 price segment (NIQ: Total Rosé, 750ml, Domestic, L52W through 10.4.25). Angels & Cowboys Cabernet Sauvignon, now in its second vintage, posted standout growth of 186%. The brand has also expanded its portfolio with the recent launch of two new Sonoma County SKUs – Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir – further strengthening its presence across key varieties.

The Cannonball brand also contributed to the company’s momentum, achieving a 5% increase in depletions. Cannonball Chardonnay led the charge with a +27% increase, reinforcing the brand’s strong position within the highly competitive $14–$17 price tier.

With clear opportunities for accelerated growth across key markets, the expanded sales organization is well-positioned to deliver best-in-class execution, deepen distributor partnerships, and expand the company’s national footprint.
