Columbia Distributing has completed its transaction with Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) for certain wine and spirits distribution rights in Oregon and Washington. New supplier sales start July 1, adding meaningful scale to Columbia’s spirits and wine portfolio across both states.
The new portfolio represents approximately 850,000 additional cases across Oregon and Washington, including roughly 500,000 cases of wine and 350,000 cases of spirits, with spirits volume confined to Washington given Oregon’s status as a control state. The transition includes a strong group of supplier partners across premium and luxury wine, spirits, sake, imported wine, craft spirits, and mixers.
Among the suppliers joining Columbia’s portfolio are brands such as Chopin, Duckhorn Wine Company, Holladay Distilling, JFC International, King Estate, Kobrand, Mingle Mocktails, Mr & Mrs Ts, Oliver Winery, Sagamore, SakeOne, Santa Margherita, Sugarlands Distilling, Union Wine Company, Waterloo Gin, Willamette Valley Vineyards, William Grant & Sons, and others.
Columbia and RNDC continue to work toward a separate Alaska transaction, which is structured differently and is expected to close at a later date. The Alaska portion of the transaction has not yet closed, and additional details will be shared as those plans are finalized.
