Crimson Wine Group Partners with Winebow for New California Distribution

Crimson Wine Group and Winebow: A New Era of Wine Distribution in California

In an exciting move set to reshape the wine distribution landscape in California, Crimson Wine Group has officially partnered with Winebow as its new distributor, starting from July 1, 2025. This decision marks a significant milestone in Crimson's strategy to enhance its market presence in one of the most vital wine regions in the United States.

Over the past five years, Winebow has played an integral role in the success of Crimson Wine Group by showcasing exceptional market expertise and a commitment to promoting a wide array of wine brands. Alexis Walsh, Executive Vice President of Consumer and Revenue Growth at Crimson Wine Group, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, "Expanding our partnership to California is a significant opportunity to grow our fine wine portfolio and to drive success across all channels."

Growing Market Presence
With this new partnership, Winebow will now distribute Crimson Wine Group products across eleven major U.S. markets, significantly expanding its reach. Previously, Winebow's distribution encompassed areas in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Illinois. This development emphasizes the strategic importance of California, not just for Crimson Wine Group but also for Winebow, as both companies share a unified vision of growth and market service.

Dean Ferrell, President and CEO of Winebow, shared his thoughts on this promising partnership: "We are thrilled to be expanding our relationship with Crimson Wine Group. We share a common vision for growth and service in today's market, and California is of strategic importance for both of our companies."

Commitment to a Smooth Transition
Crimson Wine Group is dedicated to ensuring a seamless transition as they integrate Winebow into their California distribution framework. This commitment includes supporting their California team to facilitate a workflow that minimizes disruptions and maintains continuity as they shift their distribution efforts.

The transition for all California wine distribution to Winebow will commence in June, allowing ample time for adjustments before the official start date in July. This approach aims to ensure that customers can continue to enjoy their favorite wines without interruption.
