Castro Valley, CA- September 10, 2014 -- DTC Wine Workshops announced the founding members of the recently launched DTC Consultant Network, a full-service consulting group connecting wineries with subject matter experts throughout the nation to grow direct to consumer (DTC) wine business, expand brand awareness and retain loyal customers.

The twelve founding members are: Janet Majors, Christopher Huber, Sandra Hess, Nicholas Karavidas, Mitch Tarr, Karen Barnes, James Davenport, Hilarie Larson, John Gavin, Marc Engel, Shaun McDonald and Adrienne Stillman.

“Over the past few years, there has been a significant increase in direct-to-consumer wine sales across the U.S. Yet, many wineries struggle with how to approach and maintain this important sales
channel,” said Sandra Hess, founder of DTC Wine Workshops. “We’ve launched the DTC Consultant Network in response to this industry need, with a goal to help wineries identify the right tools and processes to achieve long term success for their brands.”

By bringing together consultants with diverse backgrounds, the DTC Consultant Network is able to offer wineries a holistic solution for all DTC wine sales and marketing needs. Clients work with Network members on a project-by-project basis, for maximum flexibility and support.

“The breadth and depth of the DTC Consultant Network allows us to service all manner of wineries across the U.S.,” said Hess. “Our members have experience working with wineries of all shapes and sizes and use that knowledge to deliver best-in-class solutions tailored to the unique needs of each client.”
