Working Title is more than an importer. It's a full-service wine partnership.

Nearly two decades across every tier of the wine industry — retail, distribution, and importing — means I've sat at every seat at the table. I know what producers need to break into a new market, what buyers need to build a compelling list, and what staff need to sell wine with confidence. Working Title exists to put all of that to work.

Import & Distribution

Working Title sources and represents small, family-owned producers, domestic and imported, whose wines deserve a dedicated advocate in the Midwest market. Every producer in the portfolio is selected on merit first, story second, and represented with the focus and intention a large house simply can't offer.

Producers interested in Illinois and Midwest distribution are welcome to reach out.

Education & Consulting

Wine/Beverage List & Portfolio Consulting

A great wine list isn't just a list — it's a point of view. Whether you're building a program from scratch, refreshing an existing list, or looking for a more cohesive retail selection, Working Title offers consultation services from industry professionals around the globe, tailored to your concept, your customer and your budget. No generic recommendations. No house pours for the sake of margin. Just wines that belong.

Available for restaurants, hotels, retailers and private clients.

Education & Training

Wine-confident staff sell more wine. Working Title offers staff training programs designed for real-world service environments — approachable, memorable and built around the wines actually on your list. Also available: consumer education events, trade tastings, and custom wine education programming for corporate and hospitality groups.

Programs are customized to your team, your concept and your goals.

Import & Distribution Consulting

For producers navigating the U.S. market for the first time, or looking to expand into Illinois, Working Title offers consulting on the import and distribution process. Federal permitting, state licensing, three-tier compliance, distributor relationships, market strategy. The landscape is complicated. Having someone who knows it from the inside makes a difference.

Available for domestic and international producers.

Wine Event Creation & Management

From intimate producer dinners to large-scale trade tastings, Working Title brings the same intentionality to events that it brings to every bottle in the portfolio. Having worked on events with partners such as Disney World, Kohler and the James Beard Foundation, I have experience both on and behind stage. Whether you're looking to educate your staff, introduce your guests to a new region or create a memorable experience around wine, I design and manage events that leave people with something worth talking about — and a reason to come back.

Available for restaurants, retailers, corporate clients and private hosts, both in-person and virtual.
