Being a career winemaker, production director, and General Manager of one of California’s largest wineries, Oak Ridge, Nick Karavidas’ experience in leading wine business spanning three decades has given him a visionary insight that defies many of the ‘status quo’ habits that plague wine distribution in the US. Combining efforts with industry veterans such as Mark Chandler and alignment with US Market Intelligence leader Carl Schroeder of Geostrategies, Inc., Nick is forging a new paradigm of how wine branding and distribution are approached and conquered in the US.
Nick’s design of many top market brands in recent years including Moss Roxx (fastest growing Zinfandel over $20 retail), Maggio Family, 3 Girls Cabernet (Top U.S. sku in national chain Cost Plus), Gnarled Vine, Oak Ridge and OZV (Top 10 US Nielsen Zinfandel), he is no stranger to the development of branding and consumer preference study.
Currently servicing multiple California clients for the development of branding, branding strategies, DTC development as well as launching a portfolio of his own branded products, Nick states, “Reducing the time and expense going to market as much as 20-40% of normal launch & development costs is a major driving factor in the development of Wine Concepts Intelligent Business Services. I am confident that I can save California & U.S. wineries from multiple difficulties & failures within both the 3-Tier world and Direct to Consumer movement.” Download Nick’s BIO
