North Shore Winery is pleased to announce a new distributor partnership with Vinocopia, Inc. of Minneapolis. This new partnership will allow North Shore Winery to distribute its red and white wines across the state.
“We continue to be amazed by the support of our customers and wanted to offer our wines in restaurants and liquor stores across Minnesota,” said Chuck Corliss, North Shore Winery founder and winemaker. “We found the right partnership with Vinocopia which prides itself on representing unique craft beverages and brands through a terrific sales and management team which offer personalized service. ”
Officially kicking off the partnership in March, Vinocopia plans to extend the reach of North Shore Winery products across the state. With 16 salespeople covering the state, Vincopia has the organization in place to open up new restaurants and liquor stores for North Shore Winery products.
“We were in the market for Minnesota wines to add to our catalog and feel North Shore Winery fits that niche for our customers,” states Marion Dauner, general manager of Vinocopia. “The wines have been greatly received in northeastern Minnesota, and through our team, we will extend that reach across the state.”
With more than 40 wholesale customers, North Shore Winery is looking forward to having its products offered in each corner of the state and in the Twin Cities metro. To find current retail locations, visit https:// www.northshorewinery.us/Find- Our-Wine.
