Epic Wines & Spirits Signs as Exclusive Distributor for Wilson Artisan Wineries in California

CAPITOLA, Calif., Feb. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Wilson Artisan Wineries has announced an exclusive distribution partnership with Epic Wines & Spirits in the state of California. Comprised of Wilson Winery, Mazzocco Sonoma Winery, Pezzi King Estate Winery, DeLorimier Estate Winery, Matrix Winery, St. Anne's Crossing Winery, Soda Rock Winery and Jaxon Key's Estate Winery & Distillery, Wilson Artisan Wineries has grown from an initial single vintage of Wilson Winery Reserve Cabernet to a world class portfolio of several boutique wineries offering exceptional wines.

Wilson Artisan Wineries' sole proprietors, Ken and Diane Wilson, began their journey with an initial release of Wilson Winery 1994 Dry Creek Valley Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon which was sourced from their first proprietarily owned Dry Creek Valley vineyard. Since 1998, Ken and Diane Wilson have developed an entire portfolio of largely estate focused wines fully integrated from the ground to the glass. Beginning with the one Dry Creek Valley vineyard and the lone Wilson Winery, today vineyards, production facilities, tasting rooms and a tasteful selection of overnight guest accommodations all balance the Wilson Artisan Wineries portfolio.

William Green, Director of National Sales for Wilson Artisan Wineries, states, "Our partnership with Epic Wines & Spirits is the next phase of the development of our portfolio and national sales strategy for our growing organization. I have tremendous respect for what Ken Wilson and Bill Foley represent to our industry. Wilson Artisan Wineries and Epic Wines & Spirits are led by two of the most intriguing pioneers in the wine industry today." "Wilson Artisan Wineries is a great addition to our growing portfolio," Mike Simpkins, Chief Operating Officer of Epic Wines & Spirits added.  "Wines from boutique wineries in California are in very high demand with our customers, and the quality and reputation of the wines of Wilson Artisan Wineries is incredibly strong."
