Wine Navigator
The Grape Cycle is comprised of a team of wine industry experts in the area of business operations and sales. We provide all levels of service and management for an estate winery to build a customized plan that leads to growth within the U.S. market.
OUR APPROACH
The Grape Cycle provides a comprehensive list of wine management services for estate wineries worldwide. Our experienced staff and partners navigate clients through the complexities of the U.S. market to expand their wine brand.
Our approach is personal; each of our wine navigators is responsible for a handful of wineries at a time. We provide a solution based on the individual needs of an estate and careful evaluation of key operational pieces within the business cycle. We work with our wine producers to identify opportunities for improvement, expansion, and implementation.
WHAT OUR FRIENDS ARE SAYING
I have worked with George since my early days in the cellar at Rubicon. Over the years, he has not only been a mentor to me, but many in the industry.
~ Rajat Parr
I've worked with George for over 10 years while he was the national manager of one of the best European wine import companies in the U.S. Bluntly put, George is an elite, savvy and hardworking national brand and sales manager. He understands the U.S. distribution business inside and out as well as the operations of the import side of the business. That is an extremely rare combination that makes his contributions highly valuable to all he works with. Most impressively is his work ethic, which is second to none. If you have a chance to work with him, you'll be in the best hands there are.
