Agreement expands distribution of JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery and Lewis Cellars nationwide
May 12, 2026 (Los Angeles, CA) — The Wonderful Company’s wine business has announced the expansion of its long-standing relationship with Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits (Southern Glazer’s), the world’s preeminent distributor of beverage alcohol, marking a significant step forward in its national distribution strategy. The enhanced agreement will support both JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery, a pioneer of Paso Robles known for producing world-class Bordeaux-style wines, and Lewis Cellars, the iconic Napa Valley winery with a rich legacy of crafting opulent big reds and sexy chardonnays.
The new national expansion will provide incremental opportunities for both JUSTIN and Lewis. JUSTIN, which has been distributed by Southern Glazer’s for more than 30 years, will add 10 markets within the distributor’s national network, including Minnesota, Idaho, and Utah. Lewis Cellars will expand from five to 35 markets nationwide, including nine new market entries and greater reach in key states such as California, Florida, Texas, and Illinois.
“Our decades-long partnership with Southern Glazer’s has driven tremendous brand awareness and growth for JUSTIN wines, and we are excited to extend that success even further to Lewis Cellars,” said Steve Myers, president of wine, The Wonderful Company. “Southern Glazer’s powerful distribution network will create new opportunities to reach consumers, strengthen our presence in key regions, and continue building momentum across our portfolio. They are fantastic partners uniquely positioned to help us create more streamlined and scalable routes to market for both brands.”
“We are proud to continue our partnership with The Wonderful Company and bring the strength of our national network to JUSTIN and Lewis Cellars,” said Mark Chaplin, president of commercial sales, Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits. “These are quality, highly sought-after wines, and we’re excited to help drive distribution, visibility, and growth across key markets nationwide.”
The agreement comes at an exciting time of momentum and growth for both brands. JUSTIN continues to strengthen its position as a leader in crafting luxury Cabernet Sauvignon with the wholesale launch of its Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, bringing one of its most sought-after wines into broader distribution. The brand has also expanded its core offerings with the introduction of Central Coast Chardonnay, further rounding out its collection and reinforcing its commitment to elevating its overall portfolio.
Lewis Cellars recently unveiled a new tasting room on Napa Valley’s iconic Silverado Trail and debuted newly redesigned packaging, signaling a fresh era for the storied brand while honoring its legacy of craftsmanship and critical acclaim. This includes its distinction as one of only six Napa Valley Cabernets to receive Wine Spectator’s “Wine of the Year” recognition.
