Season 2: Episode 13
In this episode of the Wine Marketing Podcast, I’m joined by Dan Petroski, founder and winemaker of Massican Winery. We talk about how his background in publishing shaped the way he approaches wine marketing.
We dig into the emotional side of wine and how powerful it can be when brands focus less on prestige and more on making people feel something. Dan also shares why platforms like Substack matter, how to make your wine brand more consumer-friendly, and why Massican leans into curiosity over convention.
