I’ve worked with many agencies over 32 years of winemaking but have come across none that can create the flurry of press Calhoun & Company does. They are professional insiders that are connected. Just turn them loose.

Calhoun & Company has always been a great resource. Not only do they get me the information I need, they’re always so pleasant to work with.

Within very few months of working with the Calhoun team we began to see improved press interest in our wine portfolio, both in terms of appointments with key writers and significantly more media coverage. I would not hesitate in recommending this agency to any wine producer who is looking to increase brand awareness in a key premium market.

The ladies at Calhoun & Company make my job so easy. I get the latest wine samples from their first rate portfolio, they send useful background information, pricing and most importantly local distributor and retail information. Everybody wins! I hope I can continue to bring your great portfolio to readers/viewers in the Midwest.
