In this episode of the Vint Podcast, Billy Galanko and Brady Weller chat with long-time friend of Vint, Kevin Sidders. Kevin is the Founder and President of VinConnect, which "works with leading European wineries, creating and managing mailing list and club programs so U.S. customers can buy directly from the winery." After a career in Investment Banking, Kevin tapped his passion for fine wine and set out to solve the problem of access for those consumers looking to gain consistent access to the wines they love in other countries. Kevin's portfolio of winery clients has climbed to over 80 unique producers from Bordeaux to Italy and Spain, and even Lebanon. Listen in as we chat about the challenges that wineries and consumers have moving wine across the pond, the effects of changing regional climates, and the opportunity that wine brands have to gain life-long customer loyalty through stories and intentional relationships.
