Jon Moramarco has been named president of New Jersey-based Winebow, Inc., effective March 30, 2010. Moramarco was most recently the Managing Partner of BW 166 LLC, a wine and beverage industry advisory group, and his experience includes over 18 years of executive-level experience with companies including Constellation Brands and Allied Domecq. Peter Click, Frank Shobe and Scott Ades (Winebow’s Group Presidents of Imports, Distribution and Finance and Operations, respectively) will report to Moramarco, who will in turn report to Leonardo LoCascio, Winebow’s President, CEO and founder.
“Jon’s impressive background managing import and distribution-based businesses, and his proven success with both super premium and boutique brands will make him a great asset to Winebow,” says LoCascio. Winebow has been very active during the past two years, having acquired Click Wine Group in mid-2008 and becoming the U.S. importer of Argentina’s Bodega Catena Zapata and Chile’s Cousiño-Macul in 2009. The company expects revenues from its combined import and distribution operations (Winebow acts as a wholesaler in several states) will reach $240 million in 2010.
