Greetings from the staff at Grapefields! Thank you for this opportunity to tell you who we are and what we do. Naturally, we are rather proud of the wineries we represent, and hope you will join us. At Grapefields, we strive to obtain the finest boutique wines from around the World for our clientele. Our mission statement compels us to seek out wineries such as yours in order to constantly upgrade and broaden our portfolio. As our list of wineries increases, we are able to both increase our presence in pre-existing accounts and attract new on and off-premise business into the Grapefields’ fold. As a small group, we strive to maximize our efforts in building brands by making placements that enhance their reputations as boutique, artisan productions. Towards that end, our first emphasis in placing many of our new wineries is in restaurants. The old adage “slow and steady wins the race” is our guiding philosophy. Rather than force wine on our customers, we prefer to build a relationship with the customer, and entice them into the adventure of discovery. Along those same lines, although we realize good press never hurts, we do not rely on published ratings. We prefer to use our palates to confidently match our wines to the needs of our customers. Started in 1992, Grapefields has grown to over six million in annual sales. As our portfolio expands, we continue to experience growth, and we see no limit as to how far we can go. In keeping with our basic philosophy, we have assembled a very experienced sales team: SALES MANAGEMENT TEAM Phil Edwards - President, Managing Partner Cell: 770.335.2988 Sara Edwards - Managing Partner Cell: 770.313.8901 Lisa Bonet - Director of Sales Cell: 678.231.2573 Demetrious Brianas - Key Account Manager Cell: 678.907.9463 Bobby Flournoy - Key Account Manager Cell: 404.376.4387 SALES TEAM Laura Beisel - Wine Specialist 678.313.4991 Samantha Bryant - Wine Specialist Cell: 404.290.0935 Brandy Dant – Wine Specialist 404.405.0231 Mike Hill – Wine Specialist 609.213.3704 Andrea Holley – Wine Specialist Cell: 678.313.1922 John Mauney - Wine Specialist Cell: 770.366.3292 Laurence McCullough – Wine Specialist 404.914.6255 Adrian Ooi – Wine Specialist 912.399.4320 Kurt Pieper - Wine Specialist Cell: 404.822.3594 Jacki Schmidt- Wine Specialist Cell: 404.272.7082 Craig Shook - Wine Specialist Cell: 404.931.5046 Dan Smart - Wine Specialist Cell: 912.695.8660 Mark Snyder – Wine Specialist Cell: 404.822.9109 OFFICE MANAGEMENT TEAM Dick Curtis – Director of Winery Relations Julienne Jules - Accounts Receivable Tabby Mincey - Operations Manager Lori Shook – Purchasing/Logistics Administrator Jim Sutherland – Financial Consultant WAREHOUSE TEAM Nicholas Maddox - Warehouse Specialist Scott Ormos – Distribution Manager 404.784.7322 DELIVERY TEAM Garrett Akridge - Delivery Specialist Chris Hale - Delivery Manager Lionel Harris – Delivery Specialist Bobby Tillman - Delivery Specialist Eddie Vargas – Delivery Specialist We hope this has given some insight into our operation.
