“Napa Technology’s mission is to develop technology that makes a good glass of wine more accessible to consumers and provide tools for operators that make their businesses more profitable and efficient,” said Jayne Portnoy, Vice President, Marketing and Brand Strategy at Napa Technology. About Napa Technology WineStation Founded on a common passion for good wine, Napa Technology was formed in 2005 by Nick Moezidis, Morris Taradalsky and Jeffrey Brooks. The group combined decades of business and technology experience to create WineStation, a unique, cutting-edge product that would ultimately change the idea of simply serving wine to skillfully providing business solutions. WineStation is the world’s first intelligence-based, automated, temperature-controlled wine dispensing and preservation system. The product delivers a “just opened” taste experience for up to 60 days once the bottle has been uncorked and provides product controls that maximize the profitability of each bottle. In addition to maintaining the quality of each bottle of wine poured, the software that accompanies the WineStation allows businesses to track sales and use that data to manage their wine inventory.
