What’s Going on at PadillaCRT, Rubenstein PR, and Trevelino/Keller

Two Spanish Wine Regions Pick PadillaCRT as Their PR Agency

The wine regions of Ribera del Duero and Rueda in Spain are recognized among the best in their country, and they have both picked the Minneapolis-based PadillaCRT to act as their PR agency in spreading the word about their wines to the U.S. public. Ribera is in the north of Spain and known for the red wines and Tempranillo grapes – receiving Wine Enthusiast’s 2012 “Wine Region of the Year” award. Rueda is also in the north and known for white wines and their Verdejo grapes.

PadillaCRT will join the wine regions to raise awareness in the U.S. and profile distributors, retailers, and importers about their wines becoming more available in the states.
