I’m speaking 🎙️ with Andrew Nelson, Managing Partner of WarRoom Cellars. 🍷 We had a blast on this podcast. We talk about big business ideas and strategies but have fun with storytelling, a couple of jokes, and even a funny tall tale. We tasted four amazing, I mean amazing, wines!
He is from Ojai, CA and his background is deep in the viticulture side of the business before he started WarRoom Cellars, he worked for Diageo as a Vineyard Manager as well as procurement and sourcing grapes through his Grower Relations Manager role.
He started WarRoom Cellars to acquire declining legacy wine brands that may need a little attention or rebranding and turn them around for growth. WarRoom has a unique, repeatable, and proven process to revitalize and restore heritage wine brands.
Their slogan is "All For Wine. Wine For All".
Andrew is all in on Bonny Doon’s Le Cigar Orange Wine, which he is up for sending out samples to taste. You can reach him at Andrew@WarRoomCellars.com.
