Small but mighty. That's the phrase that kept coming back to me throughout last week's webinar. The three panelists who joined us are running lean DTC teams — Chelsea Leniart, Wine Club Manager at Scheid Family Wines, Hilary Berkey, Director of Sales, Marketing and Operations at Emeritus Vineyards, and Kristy Quigley, Operations Manager at Alma Rosa Winery. "Lean teams" meaning two or three people deep. At the most. The outsized results they're seeing, in a market that everyone agrees is hard, are genuinely remarkable. Here's some highlights and takeaways from  what they shared in last week's webinar. On Wine Club Customization The fear is that if you give members flexibility, they'll race to the bottom and swap out for your cheapest wines.  What Chelsea actually found was the opposite.  By studying what members customized in the previous year's March run, she reshaped this year's offering mor

“What can I do right now to help my winery sell more wine and, frankly, stay in business?” We know how many of our colleagues and friends are asking this question. We see and to hear it as an urgent problem that needs immediate attention. Which is exactly why we put together tomorrow’s FREE webinar, on better tools and strategies for navigating a tough market. There’s still time to sign up here. We’re particularly excited to shine the spotlight on three smart industry pros as they share their own strategies and toolkits. Here are some highlights to start: Chelsea Leniart, Wine Club Manager at Scheid Family Wines, will talk about inventory management and boosting Club revenue through projected customizations. Hilary Berkey, Director of Sales, Marketing and Operations at Emeritus Vineyards, will talk about hyper-segmentation in outbound sales, and the "side effects" of ideation for different teams.

In an era when wineries face rising production costs, shifting consumer behavior, and increasing pressure to do more with less, one company has quietly reinvented itself from a mobile bottling provider into a vintner solutions partner. What began 17 years ago has evolved into something far broader—and far more essential for today’s market and industry landscape. “When Peregrine first started, the core of the business was—and still is—mobile bottling. But as the company grew, wineries began turning to us for help with challenges far beyond the bottling days,” recalls Founder and CEO Thomas Jordan. “Filtration issues, oxygen control, production bottlenecks, tenting needs, hauling, last-minute project support… Over time, we realized something important: we had already become much more than a bottling company. In practice, we were the partner wineries called when they needed a solution—not just a single service.” That realizatio

At Peregrine Mobile Bottling, we believe that the final stage of winemaking - the bottling line - shouldn't be a compromise. Instead, it should be an opportunity to elevate your product, preserving all the hard work, nuance, and care that went into every vintage. Over the years, we’ve seen firsthand how integrating advanced Gas Management using a KH Tec Membrane Technology into the bottling process makes an undeniable difference in wine cost savings, quality, shelf stability, and consumer experience. This is our story - and the story of the wineries who trust us to help them tell theirs.  Where Technology Meets Terroir When we started offering gas management services alongside our mobile bottling, we weren’t just adding a feature. We were responding to a real need in the industry. Too often, wineries saw excellent wines lose their luster after bottling. Subtle aromatics would flatten. Effervescence would fade. Shelf life suffered. The common culprit? CO₂ and Oxyge

Bottling day is more than just a finishing step - it’s a defining moment. The wine you’ve nurtured through harvest, fermentation, and aging is finally ready to meet the world. At Peregrine Mobile Bottling, we don’t just understand that moment - we respect it. We know how much time, labor, and heart goes into making great wine. That’s why we’ve built a mobile bottling service focused on three core values: advanced technology, uncompromising cleanliness, and genuine care. These aren’t just buzzwords to us. They guide everything we do - from the moment we pull up to your winery to the last case we help you stack. Let’s take you behind the scenes of what makes Peregrine Mobile Bottling different - and why more wineries across Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and San Joaquin counties are choosing us as their trusted bottling partner.Technology That Protects Your Craft Our bottling lines are designed with today’s winemaker in mind: precise, efficient,

JUNE 28, 2024 – Winners have been announced in the 17th annual Women’s International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWWSC). The competition, which took place June 10-12 in Santa Rosa, Calif., was founded on the premise that the majority of wine purchased for home consumption is bought by women. The IWWSC judging panels consist entirely of professional women in the wine and spirits industries — winemakers, distillers, marketers, buyers, sommeliers, educators and journalists.  “As always, the International Women’s Wine & Spirits Competition shined a spotlight on hundreds of deserving wines,” says Debra Del Fiorentino, owner of Wine Competitions Management & Production, which organizes and presents IWWSC. “And even though entry is open to all winemakers regardless of gender, I found it gratifying that six of this year’s sweepstakes wines were created by women. And our overall wine winner also was named Best Woman Winemaker
