Decanter Napa winery Duckhorn plans stock market listing
Duckhorn has said it plans to list a portion of shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ‘Napa’ ticker, while a separate US wine deal announced this month is set to see Vintage Wine Estates become a publicly traded company.
Duckhorn has this week announced plans for a stock market listing via an initial public offering.
‘The number of shares to be offered and the price range for the proposed offering have not yet been determined,’ it said.
If the offer goes ahead as planned, ‘The Duckhorn Portfolio’ would list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ‘NAPA’ symbol, said the group, which includes Duckhorn Vineyards, Kosta Browne and Decoy wines among others.

We’re two weeks into the new year, and already there’s been a lot of merger-acquisition news in the California wine industry. Following O’Neill Vintners’ purchase of Rabble Wines and an $810 million handoff of value-price wine brands from Constellation to Gallo, we learned yesterday of a big change at one of America’s most beloved and prestigious wineries: Williams Selyem, of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir fame, has sold a minority stake to Burgundy’s Faiveley family.

Each year at this time, I recommend my favorite wine books published in the previous 12 months. In this year of coronavirus and isolation, we have more time to read, stoke our thirst and even plan our next wine country visit once we can travel again. My choices for 2020 span history from biblical times to the present, as well as wine s role in modern politics, and a lively memoir from a winemaker who shares his blueprint for success.
