A UNIQUE ADVANTAGE

I have been selling fine wine full-time since 2000, on every side of the table, desk, and bar. Writing is my pleasure and métier, so I launched Open Hill to use what I have learned to enhance your brand and increase your sales. Importing. Distribution. Retailing. Winery Wholesale and DTC. My 20+ years slinging the hash gave me insights into purchasing behavior—in every tier—that a typical agency simply doesn’t have. I learned by trial and error. I learned by listening, pouring, tasting, and studying. I know how to point out the exciting features of your brand to the jaded wine rep, because I managed them. I know how to get a buyer’s attention, because I was one. I know how to get a wine lover to open an email, click through, and buy. I have been doing it successfully since I was 25.
