The companies will combine their efforts in Washington and Idaho, and operate as Noble Wines, a member of The Winebow Group.

“Joining The Winebow Group family through this acquisition represents a terrific opportunity for our employees,” said Marush. “Noble and the entire team will benefit from an expanded offering of exceptional wines and spirits, increased levels of service and coverage, and improvements to systems and infrastructure. This partnership will allow us to honor our obligations to both suppliers and staff at the quality level that they have known throughout our history.”

“As privatization has resulted in profound changes to our industry here in Washington, our alliance with The Winebow Group will give us the platform and flexibility to actively manage these changes and successfully grow,” said Nelson.
