AAP Podcast #41: Drinking it in with The Duckhorn Portfolio Chairman and CEO Alex Ryan

On this episode of the AAP Podcast, lead portfolio manager Chris Versace is joined by Alex Ryan, Chairman and CEO of luxury wine company, The Duckhorn Portfolio (NAPA). The conversation starts with Alex tracing back Duckhorn’s wine roots in California, which quickly morphs into an overview of the company’s labels, product offering, market position, and the luxury wine segment.  Describing The Duckhorn Portfolio as a manufacturing company, agricultural company, and a marketing company rolled into one, Alex explains why it’s uniquely positioned vs. other public beverage companies. The conversation also broaches the wine manufacturing process, some helpful tips for wine drinkers, and why The Duckhorn Portfolio is confident it can deliver high single-digit organic top-line growth through 2025 even if a recession rears its head.
