The Restaurant Chain That Turned Wine Pickup Into Date Night
Cooper's Hawk built a restaurant around a recurring ritual: pick up a monthly bottle, stay for dinner, and come back with friends. The result is a hospitality business whose most important ingredient may be habit.
The Zero Proof
The Zero Proof is the largest online retailer of premium adult non-alcoholic beverages in the U.S., selling non-alcoholic wine, spirits, beer and ready-to-drink cocktails from 70+ brands plus its own labels, Saint Viviana and Lapo's. Founded in Atlanta in 2019 by Sean Goldsmith and Trevor Wolfe - two former drinkers who started as a review blog - it has grown into a venture-backed importer, wholesaler and retailer that stocks over 400 products and supplies accounts including Whole Foods, Delta, Soho House and the Ritz-Carlton.
Offset
Offset is a Napa Valley company that pairs a direct-to-consumer ecommerce platform built specifically for fine wine with a brand design studio. Formed in 2015 from the merger of Byron Hoffman's design firm Hoffman & Co. and the development shop 750 Group, Offset gives wineries and fine-wine merchants both the software to sell - allocations, clubs, open cart and point of sale - and the identity, packaging, and storytelling to stand out. Clients range from legacy estates like Frog's Leap, Grace Family Vineyards, and Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant to new producers such as RAEN.
