    Why I Rebranded My Winery with Sonja Magdevski of Clementine Carter Wines

    In this episode of the Wine Marketing Podcast, I’m joined by my friend Sonja Magdevski of Clementine Carter Wines to talk about her bold and deeply personal decision to rebrand from Casa Dumetz, a beloved Central Coast staple, to a new identity that feels more aligned with who she is today. Sonja shares the story behind that transition: why it was time for a change, how she approached the rebrand creatively and emotionally, and what it taught her about identity, storytelling, and community. We talk about how branding goes beyond a business decision, about making sure your outward presence reflects your internal evolution, and how that kind of clarity can be both terrifying and liberating. This episode is an honest and moving conversation about trusting your instincts, honoring your history while letting go of what no longer fits, and finding the courage to tell your story in a new way. Key Takeaways: * Branding is a deeply personal process—especially when your name is tied to the label. * Rebranding doesn’t mean erasing your past; it’s about realigning with your present and future. * Community matters. Sonja’s shift was supported and celebrated by the people who know and love her work. * Storytelling is everything in wine marketing. Your label, your tasting room, your emails—all of it is narrative. * Clarity in purpose and identity is worth the discomfort of change. * Surround yourself with supportive people. Building a brand isn’t a solo act. * Emotional decisions can be the smartest business moves when they come from a place of deep truth. * Small producers should trust their unique perspective. That’s where the magic is. About Our Guest: Sonja Magdevski of Clementine Carter Wines Sonja Magdevski is the winemaker and founder of Clementine Carter Wines, a Rhône-focused label rooted in Los Alamos, California. Formerly known as Casa Dumetz Wines, with sub-labels Feminist Party and Clementine Carter, Sonja recently evolved the brand to reflect her own growth and creative direction. Her wines are known for their vibrancy, her storytelling for its honesty, and her presence in the community for its warmth and consistency.

    Can Your Winery Skip Social Media?

    In this solo episode of The Wine Marketing Podcast, I’m answering the wine marketing questions you’ve been asking. We cover things like whether social media is actually necessary for wineries and how to bridge the gap between your winemaking, hospitality, and marketing teams. We’ll talk about what matters most when your time and budget are limited, how to build sustainable social media habits, where SEO fits into your strategy, and what it really means to be “successful” without social media. I also share a few favorite winery examples and practical ways to create better alignment across your internal teams. Key Takeaways: You can succeed without social media, but it takes intention.Strong SEO, an excellent in-person experience, and consistent email marketing are non-negotiable if you plan to skip social. Work smarter, not harder.Instead of quitting it altogether, build sustainable habits and repurpose what you’re already creating for email, events, or your website. Email > everything.If you’re low on time or money, email marketing is the highest-return marketing activity a winery can invest in. Start collecting emails and make it easy to stay in touch. Bridge internal gaps with systems.Shared iPhone albums, monthly check-ins, and positive affirmations all help improve collaboration across winemaking, hospitality, and marketing teams. Adapt.Brands like Tablas Creek and Carhartt Family Wines are doing incredible work, but the goal isn’t to copy them. Take what works and make it fit your brand and resources.
