In this CLE presentation, they will:

· Guide attendees through issues that lead to accidental franchise situations and phrases to listen for when discussing growth with company leadership and business-side colleagues.

About Keplinger
Helen Keplinger’s time in Priorat working with grenache and finding unique singular vineyard sites for Melis was the inspiration for Keplinger wines. Helen and DJ Warner, her future life and business partner, met in a Spanish wine shop in Los Angeles in 2003. The couple moved to Napa Valley in 2005, where Helen was named winemaker for a new winery, Kenzo Estate. After settling back into Napa, Helen started searching for grenache and found a special vineyard in Knights Valley. With the 2006 vintage, Helen founded Keplinger and the couple released the first vintage in 2008 with a focus on small production, single-vineyard Rhône varietal wines. Since then, acclaim has been building, with press accolades naming Helen Food & Wine Magazine’s 2012 Winemaker of the Year and landing her on the cover of Wine Spectator’s June 15, 2014, edition with an inspirational story by James Laube.
