Christi and Dave Ficeli have purchased Goosecross Cellars in Yountville, Calif. Terms weren’t disclosed.
Dave and Christi Coors Ficeli met while working for E&J Gallo Winery. Dave’s professional experience is primarily in marketing and production roles for Gallo, Treasury Wine Estates and Jackson Family Wines. Christi worked in her family’s beer business, serving as a sales representative at Coors for over 14 years, before transitioning to the wine world. Renowned winemaker Bill Nancarrow joined Goosecross in 2014 after spending more than ten years making wine at Duckhorn.
Until February, Goosecross Cellars wines were only available through the winery, 100% direct to consumer. As of February 2022, Old Bridge Cellars took on sales and marketing activities for Goosecross Cellars to the wholesale channel.
