DISTRIBUTOR GET-TOGETHER Saluting Success TERLATO AND TOP DISTRIBUTORS MEET FACE TO FACE
In the fall of 2011, five distributor principles and their wives joined John and Terry Terlato for a luxury weekend in San Francisco and Napa Valley to honor their sales success. Highlights of the weekend included a helicopter ride to view the vineyards by air, a blending session of the boutique-production GALAXY with the Terlato Family Vineyards winemakers, lunch at Chimney Rock and dinner at the Terlato home. Here's a look at the good life in Napa.
A good group: Mike Stelluti, Director of Wine Empire Merchants North, and his wife Alvina join Elizabeth Vianna (center), General Manager and winemaker at Chimney Rock, for a special tasting.
The talent: Terlato Family Vineyards' winemakers Bryan Parker, Doug Fletcher, Marisa Taylor Huffaker, Elizabeth Vianna and John Terlato.
Kudos: Ron Sedia, VP/GM of Southern affiliate Transatlantic Wine & Spirits of Florida was honored for achieving sales and distribution goals for the Terlato Family Vineyards Guild six years in a row. He celebrates here with John Terlato, Vice Chairman, and Tony Terlato, Chairman, Terlato Wine Group and Terlato Wines International.
Flyin' high: Matt Munn, Vice President, Southern Wine & Spirits of Nevada, and his wife Lisa take in the scene of some of Napa's finest vineyards from a hot air balloon.
