California Regional Sales Managers
We are pleased to announce that Melanie Melendez and Brent Bracamontes have joined our sales team to support our growing portfolio of fine wines as well as are direct winery representatives of McClean Vineyards located in Paso Robles.
Melanie Melendez-Fine Wine Area Manager-Central Coast
"Melanie Melendez represents McClean Vineyards and the Dennigmann Wine Group along California’s idyllic Central Coast. Born and raised in various parts of Orange County, Melanie currently resides in Camarillo where she lives with her husband and two beautiful daughters.
Melanie’s passion for wine began during her time in real-estate sales. As she recalls, many of the social events her organization put on took place at wineries. Although she claims to have started off a tad naïve on the subject, she eventually began developing her palate and appreciating the nuanced differences between different styles of wine. Today, Melanie’s appreciation and passion for wine is in top form. According to her, “the appreciation of the aroma and flavor is more than just a social pastime; every wine has a unique story, just like the connoisseurs who express interest in tasting them.”
Melanie is eager to expose the McClean Syrah to many new customers in her region, as well as grow relationships with current ones. She sums it all up with, “Sales is a job, but to sell what you love is a passion.”
Brent Bracamontes-Regional Sales & Communications-Orange County
"Brent Bracamontes is the current representative for McClean Vineyards and the Dennigmann Wine Group in Orange County. A native of San Diego County, Brent received Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in Speech Communication from California State University, Fullerton. During his tenure at CSUF, Brent taught undergraduate courses in communication theory and public speaking. Having turned his post-collegiate attention to wine, Brent is currently a student with the Wine and Spirit Education Trust, and works part-time as a sommelier and wine educator in Fullerton, CA."
