Wilson Daniels Wholesale said its Oregon-based subsidiary, Galaxy Wine Co., the third largest wine wholesaler in Oregon, is expanding into Washington State, effective Jan. 1, 2922.
The company has secured a 22,000-square-foot warehouse and office space in Tukwila, and will have a workforce of 25 employees, including warehouse and fleet teams, sales management and support staff, finance and operations.
“We were initially drawn to Galaxy in 2018 because they represent the very best in fine wine distribution for the Pacific Northwest,” said Rocco Lombardo, President of Wilson Daniels. “With distributor consolidation continuing to be a trend in our industry, we see opportunity with the expansion of Galaxy considering the impressive market equity built over the past three decades in Oregon. The newly formed Galaxy Wine Co. of Oregon and Washington will be under the recently appointed leadership of Jerred Wolff. Jerred has vast experience in the region, and his expertise will provide the stewardship necessary to enhance our share of the fine wine segment in both states.”
