Metis

Metis, a mergers and acquisitions advisory firm specializing in the wine industry, announced that its CEO, Erik McLaughlin, has been named a 2025 Wine Industry Leader by Wine Business Monthly. McLaughlin previously received this honor in 2019, making him one of a select few to be recognized twice with this award. More than 350 nominees were reviewed, vetted, and judged. McLaughlin was selected for his work in facilitating complex acquisitions and partnerships that have reshaped the wine landscape across California, Washington and Oregon. In 2025, Metis expanded its presence to California. This strategic move complements the firm's existing offices in Washington and Oregon, positioning Metis to provide comprehensive M&A advisory services across all major West Coast wine regions. Under McLaughlin's leadership, Metis has completed over 50 transactions and built a team with more than 100 years of combined wine industry experience. Metis is named for the Greek goddess of prudence and wise counsel, and has offices in Napa, Willamette Valley, and Walla Walla.
