Wow. Of course Josh needed to pass the winery on, but I would never have guessed this buyer.
Wow! 800,000 cases for Duckhorn and its own and other labels. I had no idea the business had grown that much. At 35,000 cases, Calera is a small add-on.
Big fish eat the little ones continues…

Full stop.
Josh is getting on and his kids had zero interest in the business so why not sell it to someone who wants it?
Bingo ![[winner.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/0/07ec25c9fd71159fe15d7f1ba5fad64e91238d0e.gif "winner"){kind=small}
Who wouldn’t want to cash out and retire. Congrats to Josh for all he has done ![[cheers.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/0/0ff9bfcdb0964982cd3240b6159868fbdf215b1a.gif "cheers"){kind=small}

It sounds as if he approached Duckhorn and not vice versa. He’s in his early seventies and was looking for an exit strategy. Congratulations are definitely in order. And he’ll sit on the board for the next four years and continue to guide the company.
