Distributor Adds Winery To Portfolio, Book

Following an enthusiastic sixteen-month courtship, regional distributor Corbin-Wexler confirmed Monday that it had officially added Fennimore Cellars to its portfolio, as well as to a book, sources reported. “We’re thrilled. We see enormous potential here and we’re going to be very intentional about the placements,” said sales director Rick Manzella, who has not thought about Fennimore Cellars since. “It’s really about finding the right accounts. We don’t want to just throw it out there.” Fennimore proprietor June Yarrow, who reported receiving one order in fourteen months, said she had been told the brand was in a “build year.” Manzella confirmed the distributor’s book now contains 4,100 wines and that he can name nine.
