Wine Industry Awards Ceremony to Honor 22 Industry RecipientsTwenty-two companies and executives in the wine business were named for the Business Journal’s third annual Wine Industry Awards and Wine Industry Network’s WINnovation Awards.
From nominations, the Journal selected 13 companies as notable industry suppliers including three cork suppliers selected for their individual growth and innovations. Four industry executives and managers were picked for their achievements, including an inspiring pruner-turned-proprietor and a marketer who creates “viral” messaging via social media moxie and videographic savvy. Wine Industry Network picked five innovative companies, including companies with breakthroughs in wine tank sanitation and vine water usage.
The winners will be honored at an awards ceremony Dec. 1 at Hyatt Vineyard Creek Hotel & Spa in Santa Rosa.
