Alignment in Action Podcast Episode 5 - Kenny Rochford and Matt Allan of West + Wilder
Do you drink wine that comes in a can? If you do, keep swilling. If you don’t, start with a chilled sparkling rosé from West + Wilder (https://westandwilder.com/), a Santa Rosa, CA-based brand that needs to be on your radar screen. The founders, Kenny Rochford and Matt Allan, are my guests on Alignment in Action, and we cover such topics as what it was like to get started in cans, how the category has evolved, how they stay competitive now that the big companies have seen the potential, and why you should buy a can or ten if you care about sustainability. Probably the best show yet. Click Play.

Alignment in Action Podcast Episode 3 - Kevin Luther of Voluptuary Wine
Kevin Luther is founder, winemaker and, yes, visionary for Sacramento-based Voluptuary and Lucid Wines (https://www.voluptuarywine.com/). I met Kevin in 2015 when we were students in the Executive Wine MBA program at Sonoma State University. The cohort never took a formal poll, but if we had to decide who among us would be the most successful wine entrepreneur, it would have been Kevin. Kevin has a restless intelligence, he’s hungry, and he has a lot to teach us about how brands crystallize, how to connect with customers in an inundated world, and how to create engaging content that builds community.
