testimonials
Our initial project with the ladies at CPalate involved a German brand with a young, up-and-coming wine maker. They devised an excellent program, working their strong relationships with wine journalists nationwide and digging deep into ideas designed to capture consumer attention. After such a successful first outing, we went on to work on several other brands together over the next five years. CPalate’s professionalism gave our portfolio the attention we were looking for.

How to Optimize Your Wine Brand ~ A Press Junket Punch List. July 3, 2022
A reputable PR company can help you narrow that down and pinpoint it, and then goal it forward, aiming high. One person that comes to mind is Jane Kettlewell of Creative Palate Communications. Jane is an exemplary representative of all that which is good about the PR business. Here’s a nugget that Jane shared with me:
“Given that such trips cost a fortune and entail a massive amount of time and planning, Kate (co-founder) and I and our clients try to set parameters. These include figuring out specific media outlets we wish to reach, securing representation from a cross-section of publications (lifestyle, travel, wine, and food, primarily), and trying to establish the chances of coverage. A writer or publication’s circulation and numbers are also part of the criteria.

On the Wine Trail
Where to begin? Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working closely with Jane and Kate at Creative Palate across a wide range of client projects and in numerous capacities. Whether it be complex road shows and on-site immersions with Wines of Alentejo, Wines of Chile, or Wines and Foods of Spain, or content creation and collaboration for the California Wine Institute’s ambitious Capstone California online platform, I can think of no PR and marketing agency I would rather work with perennially. Their savvy insights, formidable ability to deliver press at an event, behind-the-scenes strategy, and creative thinking are remarkable, and the quality of their written materials and editing skills are gold-standard.
