Strategic hires and expansion define a year of momentum
May 27, 2026, Dayton, Ore. — Stoller Wine Group is entering its next phase of growth with new leadership hires to support national reach and continued investment across the business. Over the past year, the company has opened the Chehalem Estate Tasting Room and Stoller Wine Bar | Newberg, doubled in size following the acquisition of the Elouan brand, and expanded its national footprint, reinforcing its leadership position in the Oregon wine industry.
To support the growth, the Stoller Wine Group has expanded its all-star lineup of national sales veterans to accelerate distribution across key markets. Recent additions include Chris Stevens as senior director of national accounts, Patrick Brown as director of sales – central region, and Marisa Sebastianelli as director of sales – northeast and mid-Atlantic regions. Each director brings more than three decades of experience across supplier and distributor leadership roles, strengthening the company’s ability to execute at scale. Under the leadership of Senior Vice President of National Sales, Britt Dimmick, these hires round out an established sales team across the United States and support recent national alignments with Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits and Johnson Brothers.
“The genius of Bill Stoller was not only his 200-year vision but his belief in hiring great people and empowering them to lead,” said President Gary Mortensen. “Thanks to his vision, our incredible team and our strategic distribution alignment, we are uniquely positioned for breakout growth.”
