In this special-edition newsletter, we sat down with WDW Executive Vice President Kevin Murphy, who reflects on the past decade and shares what’s next for the fine w**e wholesaler in a two-part Q&A!

WDW was founded in October 2015 in New York and soon after expanded to New Jersey, generating $16MM in revenue in 2016 across the two states. Since then, WDW acquired the revered fine w**e specialist Galaxy W**e Company in Oregon (June 2018), making it a bi-coastal operation; expanded its distribution to Connecticut (October 2018), completing its representation in the Tri-State area; and most recently expanded Galaxy’s operations into Washington state (Jan 2022).

WDW crossed the $100 Million revenue threshold in 2025. Today, WDW operates in five states with 110 employees and representing nearly 800 w**ery partners, and is projected to do $110MM in business with 490,000 cases sold in 2026.

Chateau Montelena has a celebrated history, most widely known for winning the “Judgement of Paris” and putting California at the forefront of the w**e world. Founded in 1882 by A.L. Tubbs, a San Francisco entrepreneur, the w**ery was among the largest in Napa Valley and thrived prior to prohibition. Chateau Montelena as it is known and recognized today begins with the Barrett Family, who purchased and reunified the original estate in 1972. Recognizing the potential of this exceptional property, Jim Barrett along with his son, Bo, replanted the vineyards, invested in modern equipment and honed their farming and w**emaking.
In just a few short years, Chateau Montelena’s 1973 Chardonnay was selected as the top-ranking w**e in a blind tasting of four white Burgundies and six California Chardonnays, a defining event that forever altered the perception of American w**e and placed Montelena firmly on the global stage. In 2026, Chateau Montelena will mark the 50th anniversary of the 1976 “Judgment of Paris."
Over the last half-century, Chateau Montelena has garnered global recognition, crafting artisanal w**es that evolve and endure, through the lens of their estate. Led by second-generation CEO Bo Barrett along with W**emaker Matthew Crafton, the w**ery continues to invest deeply in its land and refine its w**emaking, all in pursuit of w**es that express the character of their land and the nuances of each vintage. chmontelena wilsondaniels **ewednesday

Happy Women’s History and Washington W**e Month! Galaxy Washington is proud to welcome Itä w**ery to our portfolio!
itä w**es is a woman-owned and operated w**ery in Walla Walla that is dedicated to expressing the unique terroir of the eastern foothills of the Walla Walla Valley. W**emaker Kelsey Albro Itämeri brings a restrained style that matches the moderation and finesse of these hillside grapes, and a focus on varietals and styles uniquely suited to this place they call home.
itä: east (Finnish)
Part of the last name Itämeri, the Finnish name for the Baltic Sea, which literally translates to “east sea”
-ita: the diminutive (Spanish)… a word that has been modified to convey a slighter degree of its root meaning, to convey the smallness of the object or quality named, or to convey a sense of intimacy or endearment.
Itä’s philosophy is focused on place and letting the grapes tell their own story. Starting with their estate vineyard and farm, they have experimented with varietals and styles that are suited to the cooler, wetter, windy, higher elevation foothills of the east side of the Walla Walla Valley. Itä only sources other grapes from neighboring vineyards with similar terroir, farmed to achieve the expression and balance that they think is possible from these unique sites. These hillsides produce lighter-bodied w**es with racy acidity, and their low-impact w**emaking style reflects that via early pick dates, restrained use of oak, and minimal fining and filtration.
Loki Itämeri, Kelsey’s Canine Co-Pilot, is an Idaho S**g who loves running, running, and running. He became part of the itä w**es team in 2017 when Kelsey and Kai adopted him from the Blue Mountain Humane Society. An all-around Scruff McGruff and very good boy, Loki is integral to the morale of the entire team at itä w**es. **ery **emonth

Happy International Tempranillo Day!
.
Abacela Tempranillo Estate Barrel Select 21: “Dark and brooding, the 2021 Tempranillo Barrel Select smolders up with a mix of grilled herbs, cocoa and to***co accentuating citrus-tinged blackberries. It displays textures of pure silk and vividly ripe wild berry fruits, all propelled by brisk acidity as a staining of minerality collects toward the close. It’s tannic and potent through the finish, leaving a saturation of spice and dark chocolate under a veil of violet inner florals.”- By Eric Guido | 93 Points Vinous
Celeste Crianza, DO Ribera del Duero 2021: “Garnet in color, it offers aromas of cherry and sour cherry with marked barrel influence, including a hint of vanilla. Fine tannins and a chalky, plush texture carry through to a polished red fruit finish.” — Joaquin Hidalgo | 92 Points Vinous
Marqués de Cáceres Rioja Crianza Tinto 21: “Oregano and to***co front the nose with savoury expressiveness, led by blood orange, Earl Grey and bergamot. There’s firm, herbal grip from strong, round tannins. Subtle florality adds elegant top notes to the otherwise intense, dark core. A great-value w**e, perfect for more than everyday drinking.” – Ines Salpico | 90 Points Decanter
.
Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Reserva 20: “The 2020 Rioja Reserva, their flagship w**e, comes from the 300 hectares of estate vineyards… I loved the aromatics here—floral and elegant, more in the style of the 2018 than the 2019. It’s lighter, more elegant, fine-boned and has a silky texture and very fine tannins.” - Luis Gutiérrez | 94+ Points W**e Advocate
La Rioja Alta Rioja Reserva Viña Alberdi 20
“Hints of to***co, smoke and vanilla are a fragrant thread winding through the baked cherry and raspberry fruit, cocoa powder and red licorice notes on display in this lively, harmonious, focused red. Fine, crisp tannins firm the finish. Drink now through 2030.” —A.N. | 91 Points W**e Spectator

to our Oregon Sales Teams visit to at the end of May before the Burdoin Fire started and hit the Gorge. Please note, last 3 photos are from after the fires hit COR’s property. August is Washington W**e Month, a perfect time to support these wonderful w**eries.
Cor Cellars, located just outside of Lyle, Washington, is known for crafting elegant, expressive w**es that reflect the distinct character of the Columbia Gorge and Horse Heaven Hills. While their structures remain intact, the Burdoin Fire is a reminder of the challenges our local w**emakers face. Cor Cellars continues to pour their heart into every bottle, and one of the most direct ways to support them is by joining their w**e club. Members receive seasonal shipments, exclusive w**es, and access to events that celebrate the spirit of the Gorge. Join the Cor Cellars w**e club and be part of sustaining this vital community. **emonth **e
