The people behind the work
Esprit de Corps isn't a faceless agency. It's two operators who've spent careers in Napa Valley — building brands, making the calls, and standing behind the results.
Partner
Brand & Market Strategy · Sales Execution
David has spent more than two decades inside the Napa Valley wine business — long enough to know the winemakers by name, the buyers by handshake, and exactly what it takes to move a bottle from the barrel room to the shelf to the cart.
His gift is translation. He takes a winemaker's craft and a founder's ambition and turns them into a brand the market actually wants — with pricing that holds, a story that lands, and a sales plan built on real relationships rather than guesswork. He's the person buyers take the call from, because he's never wasted their time.
Clients describe working with David the same way: easy, candid, and genuinely fun — a partner who tells you the truth early, keeps the process moving, and treats your brand like it's his own. Approachable on day one, relentless about results by day ninety.
Partner
Creative Direction · Production & Programs
Tre is the builder — the one who turns a positioning line into a bottle you want to pick up, and a concept into a program that can actually be produced, packaged, and shipped at scale.
His range is rare: equal parts creative director and operator. He can sit in a design review obsessing over a label's foil weight in the morning and solve a sourcing or compliance problem by the afternoon. Nothing leaves his hands looking like a compromise, because he refuses to separate how a brand looks from how it performs.
He's calm under deadline, easy to collaborate with, and quietly exacting — the partner who sweats the details so you don't have to. When Tre says it's ready, it's ready: premium on the shelf, clean in production, and built to scale.
Why it works
Strategy and craft under one roof. The person who sells it and the person who builds it are in the same room — from the first idea to the last case.
Napa creativity. Operator execution.
