NAPA, Calif., Oct 15, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- OLDRF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Inertia Beverage Group announced today the launch of Cascade Trade Direct, the online marketplace for IBG's first wholesale distribution partner, Cascade Trade. With Cascade Trade Direct, the Washington State wholesaler expands its current wine portfolio with a selection of new-to-market, limited production, artisan wine products sourced from IBG's WineRevolution.com Direct-to-Trade platform.

The program delivers the enhanced portfolio exclusively online in a secure, legal, and efficient environment. IBG's patent-pending, Direct-to-Trade model enables the online facilitation of orders; wines are effectively purchased direct from the producer, with orders routed electronically through the traditional 3-Tier distribution system as required.

WINE PRODUCERS AND TRADE CONNECT VIA ONLINE WINE WHOLESALE PLATFORM

"By providing wine wholesalers like Cascade Trade with access to wines never before distributed in the State, we can give them a point of differentiation, while allowing our producer clients access to new markets," said Inertia CEO Ted Jansen. "We expect this new model to bring a significant boost to wine distribution in the states where we are looking to launch it."

"Cascade Trade has always been committed to providing our customers with access to the little guy -- the artisan winemaker who needed a voice, but was reluctant to join a big distributor. IBG's Direct-to-Trade platform allows us to continue to do so, but in a new, efficient and innovative way," noted Cascade Trade's co-founder Lars Sorenson.

Cascade Trade Direct is the first in a series of distribution partnership programs which IBG is establishing in states across the country. These unique partnerships give IBG clients access to new markets and new customers. By incorporating IBG's producer clients into their wholesale portfolio, distributors can expand their product line for retailers and restaurants, giving those customers access to products which allow them to differentiate themselves from competitors.

"Small producers like us can get lost in a distributor's portfolio. IBG's program gives us more control over our out-of-state wholesale business, especially where we are unable to get the representation that we need," said Barry Richter, Director of Sales for Testarossa Winery.

Wholesalers and suppliers interested in participating in IBG's Direct-to-Trade program should contact Mitch Schwartz, VP of Sales, at 707.603.2852 or email info@winerevolution.com.
