In January 2005, Bridget joined Wente Family Estates; California’s oldest continuously operated family-owned winery. For over 10 years, she has served as vice president of sales, overseeing half the country for the Wente Family. Her primary role was leading a team of three regional sales managers and nine broker representatives in managing the distributors who sold Wente brands. This involved analyzing sales data, accessing opportunities, and forming in-depth financial strategies, pricing, programming and annual sales goal plans. Bridget’s extensive background in the wine industry includes her sale and brand management roles at the Robert Mondavi Winery, Terlato Family Distributors, and E&J Gallo Winery, where her career began 31 years ago.
