Wine industry veteran, Dixie Gill Huey, recently formed Trellis Wine Consulting, LLC to provide key guidance to wineries and related business regarding leadership and organization, distribution and sales strategy, marketing and public relations, and operations and finance. The company delivers exceptional value to its clients by offering a unique blend of breadth of services and depth of expertise that supports efficient and effective growth and enhanced profitability.
According to Huey, “The wine industry is experiencing an increasing need for management and strategy consulting given the trend toward consolidation and the resulting enhanced competition for distribution. It is cost prohibitive for many wineries to hire multiple experts in the fields of management, marketing, sales and operations. In hiring Trellis Wine Consulting, a wine business benefits from cost savings due to our depth of expertise and breadth of services.”
Huey has a decade of experience in marketing and management of over 30 wineries ranging from small, family-owned operations to corporations. Before founding Trellis Wine Consulting, she served as Director of Marketing & Communications for Premium Port Wines, the North American importer for the Symington Family Estates of Portugal, the leading exporter of premium Port worldwide. Prior to representing the Symington Family, Huey managed public relations for Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines. She has also provided counsel to Joseph Phelps, Louis Bernard, E. & J. Gallo, Kim Crawford, R.H. Phillips, JUSTIN, Calera, and others. She holds a first level certificate from the Court of Master Sommeliers, has a Master of Business Administration in finance, and is a frequent industry panelist and wine competition judge.
