Shark Tank to Feature Napa Small Business FlyWithWine
NAPA, Calif., Dec. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The founders of FlyWithWine, developers and marketers of wine & spirits lifestyle products including its flagship product "VinGardeValise", the first luggage line specifically designed to safely and securely protect wine bottles while traveling, are taking their innovative solutions for traveling with wine on Shark Tank! The episode will air on ABC on December 15th, 2023 at 8pm ET/7pm C.
The opportunity to appear on Shark Tank is a dream come true according to Co-Founders Ron Scharman (Chief Executive Officer) and Ryan Neergaard (Director of Business Development). Scharman says "Being chosen to appear on Shark Tank is a profound honor, in many ways akin to receiving a lifetime achievement award. What started as a small two person operation, born in Napa seven years ago, has evolved into an international company making innovative lifestyle wine and spirits travel products for consumers and industry professionals worldwide. To be recognized by Shark Tank for the uniqueness and quality of what we offer and by featuring us on an upcoming episode show, we have fulfilled some of our most aspirational dreams for our company."
Landing a spot in the Tank to pitch "the sharks" on the critically acclaimed reality show was much more intense and nerve-wracking than expected. Neergaard says, "The selection process for securing a coveted spot on a Shark Tank episode mirrors the intensity of competing in the Super Bowl. It was a demanding, stressful, and all-encompassing endeavor from a time perspective. However, standing live before some of the most renowned entrepreneurs in the world made every challenge worthwhile, providing us with invaluable experience and recognition for the dedicated work we've poured into building our business."
Be sure to tune in on December 15th to Shark Tank to find out what happens!
