Description
A team of six Linfield College students participated in the Intercollegiate Wine Business Invitational. Our team created a business plan, financial plan, and wine label for a $25 red wine blend from California producing 10,000 cases. Our business plan envisioned a winery named Sobremesa that was started by six friends after a night where the conversations never stopped flowing. We wanted to produce a product that encourages people to stay for a while and enjoy time with their family or friends. Our wine, Alianza, served as a catalyst for Sobremesa Cellars. Competing against colleges and universities across the country, Linfield earned the Grand Prize for constructing all three components in a cohesive manner.
